GreaterSport on behalf of GM Moving partners have announced that they will be launching a youth-led campaign on physical activity and mental wellbeing.
The campaign is in response to the findings in the #BeeWell data. Only 1 in 3 young people in GM are currently meeting the recommended daily physical activity guidelines set by the Government’s Chief Medical Officer and this impacts on mental health and wellbeing. The campaign will work with partners from across Greater Manchester to recognise and celebrate the benefits of physical activity and increase engagement across the city region. The campaign will be designed and led by young people, to ensure the benefits of physical activity on young people’s mental wellbeing are advocated for in an inclusive, accessible, and exciting way in which young people will engage with and want to share with others. It will also give specific focus to girls, building on the #BeeWell findings uncovering the extent of the gender gap in physical activity coming out of the pandemic.
We are seeking to appoint a partner or consortium with a lead organisation to develop this youth-led campaign on physical activity and mental health to be delivered through the 2022-23 academic year (September 2022- September 2023). We expect this work to build on groups and networks already working with young people across Greater Manchester to ensure clear and concise narratives that will relate to young people are created.
All the information, including timescales and budget is in the document below.

The upcoming Spending Review this June is an opportunity for government to realise the benefits of physical activity to economic growth, population health, and a prevention-first NHS.
