Physical Activity Referral Service in Manchester (PARS)

Manchester Active PARS are here to help if your mental or physical health is stopping you from being active.

You can access this service by seeking a physical activity referral through a professional who knows about you and your health such as a GP, healthcare assistant or practice nurse.

PARS work with qualified community providers and instructors to deliver sessions in local leisure or community centres. They offer a range of different activities, so will always try and find something to suit you! Some Manchester Active PARS sessions are free of charge, and others carry a small cost.

For more information on the Physical Activity Referral Service, please contact the PARS Team on: 0161 974 7839 or [email protected]

Neighbourhood Partnership

Thank you to everyone who continues to attend our Withington and Old Moat Neighbourhood Partnership Meetings.

For anybody who hasn’t attended a neighbourhood partnership meeting before, these meetings take place four times a year and are a space where local people and workers across all sectors can come together to share thoughts and discuss priorities around health and wellbeing for the neighbourhood. Neighbourhood partnership meetings are also a space to connect with others and build more awareness of what is available in the neighbourhood.

We welcome all partners to this meeting including active residents who want to find out more about the work that is taking place in the area and offer their knowledge of the local community and their lived experience to help improve health and wellbeing for residents.

To join the neighbourhood partnership mailing list and receive invitations to future meetings contact Yasmin Holgeth, Health Development Coordinator for Old Moat and Withington, Manchester Local Care Organisation for more information:
