The ceremony, held at Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel on 24th October, saw awards handed out to individuals, businesses and organisations from a wide range of sectors.

Earlier this year, Greater Manchester reached its target of getting 1 million people moving across the region, our aim now is to reach 2 million by 2021 and really evidence how an active life can change lives for the better.

Matt Johnson, Deputy CEO of GreaterSport, said: “We are thrilled to have won this award on behalf of the sector, recognising the work that GreaterSport does with its strong network of partners across Greater Manchester. Together we have achieved this success with our partners and the dedicated team at GreaterSport
