Message from our Chairperson

Opportunities for Schools

I would like to welcome and thank you for joining us again for the 2024-25 academic year.

This year, we are delighted to announce our new partnership with MPETT, providing a number of exciting new opportunities for schools. We believe that our new membership package provides a comprehensive offer and offers a key focus on continuing professional development, competitions and events, health and wellbeing, leadership programmes, schools to community links and inclusion.

This new partnership enhances our aim of being a leading Manchester charity that is passionate about developing the whole child through PE, as well as sport and PA. We aim to make Manchesters’ children and young people the most active in Greater Manchester. Relationships are a key part of this for us and we are proud to have consistently engaged with over 80% of schools in the city through our programmes.

I wish you an active and enjoyable year with Team MCR and we look forward to seeing your children and young people enjoying all of the many opportunities across Manchester.
