Manchester Storm are delighted to launch ‘Storm in the Community’, our Community Interest Company (CIC), that will support the Club in addressing needs for physical education and activities across Greater Manchester.

Healthy activity creates healthy people and healthy communities. 

WHAT IS STORM IN THE COMMUNITY ALL ABOUT?

Our Mission
We are dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of communities across Greater Manchester through inclusive, accessible, and sustainable community sport and physical activity. We believe in the transformative power of movement—not only for physical health,
but for mental wellbeing and social connection.

What We Do
Through collaboration with schools, healthcare providers, and community organisations, we embed sport and physical activity into everyday life. Our initiatives are designed to:

• Promote Physical and Mental Wellbeing
  We tackle physical inactivity, obesity, and associated health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Equally, we harness the positive impact of sport on mental health—helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and social isolation by fostering a sense of belonging, purpose, and connection.
• Champion Inclusion and Equity in Sport
  We are committed to ensuring that everyone—regardless of age, ability, background, or socio economic status—has access to sport. Our programmes make sport an equitable opportunity for all.
• Strengthen Communities
  Our work builds stronger, more connected communities. Through grassroots sports, community events, and other inclusive recreational activities, we reduce loneliness and create lasting social networks.
• Empower the Next Generation
  By working with schools, colleges, and youth organisations, we instil a lifelong love for movement in young people. Our youth-focused programmes promote teamwork, discipline, confidence, and resilience.

Our Vision

A healthier, happier, and more active Greater Manchester, where community sport is embedded into daily life and where everyone can thrive, regardless of circumstance.

 

At a time when both physical and mental health are more important than ever, we are committed to working with schools, charities, and community groups across Greater Manchester to improve the lives of people of all ages. In a time where both physical and mental health are more important than ever, Storm in the Community is committed to working with schools, charities, and local groups across Greater Manchester to make a real difference in the lives of people of all ages.

 

Ryan Finnerty, Manchester Storm:

“We believe every individual should have the opportunity to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of sport and activity. We’re excited to collaborate with schools and community groups across Greater Manchester to make that a reality.”

 

As a professional sports club, Manchester Storm is proud to be deeply rooted in our local communities. We’re excited to deliver meaningful engagement, inclusive programmes, and to inspire the next generation to lead active, healthy lives.
