Supporting more people to move more.
The ‘Move More’ Grant Scheme is designed to support community groups, charities, voluntary organisations, faith groups and local partners to help the least active residents of Torbay become more physically active, which will improve health and wellbeing, and reduce social isolation.
The scheme focuses on gentle, inclusive and accessible activity opportunities for people who currently do little or no regular exercise.
