Cycle and Stride for Active Lives is an initiative from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) that supports community groups and people in Greater Manchester to become more active through walking and cycling.
Made possible by a £1million grant from the London Marathon Charitable Trust, the three-year programme seeks to reach 10,000 people across communities that are least likely to be active or to walk or cycle their journeys.
The aim is to reach communities who experience more barriers when it comes to walking and cycling.
TfGM will work with approximately 60 different communities, charities, faith groups and schools over the next three years to improve access to cycling and walking through grants, training, online support, activities and events; all with the support of incredible local champions and volunteers.
