Walking & Wheeling Grants
The GM Walking Festival 2025 is a celebration of walking and wheeling, as part of May’s National Walking Month, and an opportunity for everyone to get involved, whatever role you play in Greater Manchester.
This year, we’ve increased the number of ways in which you can get involved and recognise the many benefits of walking and wheeling more as a fundamental part of daily life.
Grants of up to £100 are available to support walk organisers to plan and host a walk during the GM Walking Festival in May and help to sustain the walking activity beyond this.
Find out more about the grants at one of our two Zoom Support sessions on Thursday 13 February (10-11am) or Monday 10 February (5-6pm). Book a place here.
