Welcome to Move More Glossop!

We are a dynamic partnership of community, sports, health, and council organizations that are passionate about inspiring people in Glossop to move more and make physical activity a part of their everyday lives. As part of the wider That Counts! campaign running across Greater Manchester, we are committed to promoting the benefits of an active lifestyle and providing fun and accessible ways for everyone to get involved.

Join us on Twitter @GlossopCounts and Facebook @MoveMoreGlossop to stay updated and connect with our community.

What is Move More Glossop?

Move More is our public campaign encouraging everyone to move more in their own unique way. Just 30 minutes of activity throughout the day can have numerous health benefits.

What counts?

Anything that makes you move more counts! Dancing, playing with kids, walking, or trying out a new activity. It all counts towards a healthier lifestyle.

Story Walks

Join our unique story walks that combine physical activity with storytelling. Explore Glossop while enjoying captivating stories.

Get Active. Sleep Well. Feel Amazing.

At The Bureau in Glossop, we believe in the power of movement. Our bodies are designed to be in motion, soaking up fresh air and embracing an active lifestyle. When we become sedentary, we put ourselves at risk of developing health conditions or exacerbating existing ones. That’s why we encourage you to move more – because sometimes, the best medicine is staying active.

How you choose to get active is entirely up to you. The key is to have fun and incorporate it seamlessly into your daily routine. And remember, whatever you do, you’re reaping the benefits.

So, what counts as activity?

Everything that gets you moving counts! Imagine dancing around your kitchen while tackling those dishes. Picture yourself running after your kids in the garden, sharing laughter and creating memories. Visualize a kick-about in the park, showcasing your skills and enjoying friendly competition. Consider walking to school, work, or even the corner shop, relishing in the fresh air and embracing a healthier lifestyle. Envision jumping in muddy puddles during those rainy days, letting your inner child shine through. Explore new yoga moves on YouTube, discovering a path to inner peace and flexibility. Rekindle your childhood skipping skills, feeling the joy of a simple yet effective workout. Experience the convenience of scooting your way through the school run, energizing yourself and embracing an active commute.

It counts if:
Your heart starts pumping faster, invigorating your body. You feel a pleasant warmth spreading through your muscles. A touch of sweat appears as a testament to your effort. Your breath quickens, signaling an increased oxygen intake. (Not at Mo Farah’s pace, just enough to feel slightly out of breath!)

At The Bureau, we encourage you to move more, sleep well, and experience the incredible benefits of an active lifestyle. Embrace the power of movement and discover a better, healthier you.

NEW Peer Support and Exercise Group!

"If there has ever been a time in my life when I have needed to speak to somebody, it was yesterday and that is an understatement! I didn't just need a friend, I needed a support group and that's what I have now, thank you! I am grateful for your kindness. I look forward to meeting up again next Friday and every Friday."
