Trafford Moving strategy

Trafford Moving, is our sport and physical activity strategy. The strategy has been developed by the Trafford Moving Partnership, which is a collective of organisations involved in the delivery of sport and physical activity in Trafford.

The vision of the strategy is to enable residents in Trafford to move more, every day. The strategy sets out how the Trafford Moving Partnership will deliver its vision and reduce the number of inactive residents in Trafford. 

About the Trafford Moving Partnership

The partnership is working to encourage everyone to engage in activity, every day in a way that is suitable to them. 

The partnership will enable this by developing projects, partnerships and initiatives that builds on existing activity opportunities, whilst also enabling new ways to be active in Trafford.

Aims of the strategy

By enabling everyone to move more every day the Trafford Moving Partnership wants to reduce the amount of people who are inactive and engage in 30 minutes or less of activity per week.

Currently, according to Sport England’s Active Lives Survey 2022, around 23.6% of residents in Trafford are inactive and don’t do enough activity to positively affect their health and wellbeing.

Being inactive can have a detrimental effect on our health and over a pro-longed period can lead to disease and long-term health conditions. Data also suggests that certain groups of people are also more likely to be inactive.
