As part of the Getting Manchester Moving campaign, the Football Foundation has funded the Club’s registered charity City in the Community (CITC), to put on a range of activities – hockey; netball; boxing; dance; cycling; penalty shootout; lacrosse; table tennis.
The showcase will highlight a campaign that aims to encourage local families to participate in physical activity at any level, from recreational to competition.
Alex Williams, MBE, Executive Manager for City in the Community, said “The day will give families the opportunity to have some great fun with a wide range of activities that will bear no cost to the parents.”
Manchester Community Health Trainers will be available on the day to offer free health advice. The Health Trainers scheme sees members of the community provide one to one support to help people take the first steps to becoming more active and eating more healthily.
Getting Manchester Moving is a citywide initiative designed to raise awareness about the importance of physical activity, its benefits and where these activities can be accessed as well as about healthy eating and weight management. The project is funded by the Football Foundation and supported by CITC, Manchester City Council and Manchester Public Health Development Service.
The Football Foundation is the UK’s largest sports charity funded by the Premier League, The Football Association, Sport England and the Government. Their mission is to improve facilities, create opportunities and build communities throughout England.
Registration will take place on the day in the Commonwealth Suite reception. For more information about the event or the campaign please visit www.gettingmanchestermoving.org. You may also contact Getting Manchester Moving on 0161 438 7711 or e-mail citc@mcfc.co.uk.
