Manchester Active are at the forefront of promoting physical activity, sport, leisure, and health to its people. We recognise that physical activity is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and the key to promoting physical activity is to understand the different needs and interests of all. As a result, we continue to lead the way nationally in how sport, leisure, health, and physical activity can be a powerful agent of change for all people. Manchester Active are here to inspire Mancunians to more active.

We're a leading force in active travel behavior change, boosting biking participation for cities, regions and businesses. We get more people on bikes, using our online platform, app, local promotion and good ol' human interaction. We help TDM and Active Travel professionals achieve measurable mode shift. We provide Transportation Planners with real-time data insights to make efficient infrastructure decisions that make streets safer for biking. Together, we're creating a healthier, happier, more productive world.

At The Bike Project, we refurbish secondhand bikes and donate them to refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK. Since 2013, we have given supported over 14,000 people with bikes. With a bike, a person can access vital services such as healthcare and legal advice, as well as having a link to their local community. We also run engagement programmes like Pedal Power, free cycling lessons for refugee women led by refugee women; and Bike Buddies, a befriending programme to match volunteers with bike recipients.
