Wheels and Walks is a programme that supports people in Greater Manchester to become more active by walking, wheeling and cycling.
Through the programme, community groups will be supported to deliver walking, wheeling and cycling activities for people in their local area. By sustaining activity across Greater Manchester, we can reach communities who would really benefit from these activities.
The programme will run from early 2025 to late 2026. During this time, Transport for Greater Manchester are aiming to work with around 40 community groups that will be selected through an application process. Each successful group will receive a package of support from TfGM to deliver their activity.
Successful applicants will receive:
- Grant funding of up to £5,000
- Training and development opportunities
- Opportunities to participate in networking and knowledge sharing
- General support and advice
- Signposting to other opportunities
