The Get Set Go! health and wellbeing project

Get Set Go! is all about bringing vibrant, inclusive sports and fitness activities to support the health and wellbeing of residents living in various parts of London and Manchester. Here, you’ll find information about these events and how to register your interest.

About Get Set Go!

Some of the areas already benefiting from this project include:

• Newham (Beckton and Royal Docks)
• Tower Hamlets (Oceans Estate, Stepney Green and Grand Union Place)
• Lambeth (Brixton Windrush and Brixton Rush Common wards)
• Barking & Dagenham (Academy Central, Gascoigne Estate and Axe Street)
• Manchester (Old Trafford and Broomwood)

The initiative is not limited to specific areas and will adapt to community needs.

We aim to establish hub venues in significant locations and utilise community spaces such as parks, leisure facilities, and educational institutions for our events.

Help support the project

We focus on extensive consultation and outreach to ensure our sessions are relevant and impactful.

We invite local partners and providers to collaborate with us, especially those who can contribute additional value in mental health, education, employment, financial literacy, skills training, mentorship, violence reduction and confidence building.

Residents will play a central role in shaping the project, ensuring it meets their needs and is sustainable.

Local volunteers, clubs, trainers, and organisations will also be integral to delivering our programmes.

Rather than a traditional funding model, Get Set Go! emphasises co-creation and partnership with grassroots organisations to develop initiatives that truly benefit the community.

Our Community Development Leads (CDLs) will spearhead our place-based community engagement initiatives, working closely with residents to engage them in meaningful activities that enhance their futures.

The CDLs will also address a broad spectrum of needs, including employment and education, by assessing community assets, resident needs and consulting with stakeholders to identify investment areas.
