The GM Walking and Wheeling Fund (GMWWF) Grants Programme is offering grants of up to £5,000 to VCSE organisations to deliver projects to get more people walking and wheeling this 
autumn/winter.
The fund aims to improve the health and wellbeing of communities in Greater Manchester by encouraging people who are less active or inactive to walk or wheel (e.g. using a wheelchair/mobility aid or pushing a pram) regularly.
It also hopes to increase awareness of and engagement with, GM Walking: a hub of information and resources that recognises the important role walking and wheeling can play in increasing physical activity levels.
The GM Walking and Wheeling Fund is being managed by Salford CVS, on behalf of 10GM.
Funded by GM Moving, small grants of up to £2,000 and medium grants of up to £5,000 are available through 10GM to support activities that encourage people who are usually less active to start or increase the amount they regularly walk this winter.
All projects must encourage people who are usually less active or inactive to increase the amount they walk or wheel regularly.
