What does CTC and the Big Lottery Active Travel Consortium Project do in Manchester? We work in Partnership with the Active Lifestyles team, creating Cycling activities for people aged from 0 to 100 years, with 5 Cycling hubs across the City, giving residents access to a pool of bikes to suit their requirements, supported by a team of CTC qualified Cycling Instructors and committed Volunteers. What do we do? Active Lifestyles provides a huge variety of physical activity programmes for all ages from baby and toddler funquatics to 60+ back to bikes, aiming to appeal to all within Manchester 's communities. We want to provide you with as much choice as possible to ensure that we can help you get active and stay active. Our sessions are located in facilities that are best suited to you - we deliver in primary schools, church halls, dance studios, community centres, resource centres, leisure centres, youth centres, local parks and outdoor places - ensuring convenience and easy access. Specialist Provision Active Lifestyles also provides specialist physical activity provision, supporting people who have or are experiencing ill health. We work directly with NHS Manchester's Physical Activity Referral Service (PARS) which provides a specialist service for people who have serious clinical conditions, and delivers programmes such as cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. Active Lifestyles provides the after service for PARS ensuring that we support the long term recovery into an independent active lifestyle. We work closely with other services across Manchester such as Manchester 's Public Health Development Service, The Christie, and Mental Health Services to provide specialist care and support for those who may not yet be able or ready to attend our general activity programme. Our aim is to provide the right support and care to ensure that everyone can eventually lead an active lifestyle. If you would like any further information regarding our specialist service provision please contact Active Lifestyles on 0161 232 3100 or email activelifestyles@manchester.gov.uk. You can also call Mark Gumbs CTC Cycle Champions Officer on 0161-232-3102 or e-mail- mark.gumbs@ctc,org.uk for further information about Cycling sessions across Manchester.
