Movement & Place CIC
The body
was built
to move.
For everyone. Without exception.
We deliver movement education, physical literacy, and community activation programmes for children, young people, women, veterans, and adults navigating mental health challenges — wherever communities need us most.
“Movement is not a luxury. It is a right. We exist to make it real for the communities that need it most.”
Who we are
Founded by the parkour pioneers behind Parkour Generations.
Movement & Place CIC is a community interest company bringing more than two decades of world-leading movement education out of the gym and into the communities that need it most.
We are based in East London. Every programme we deliver and every pound we generate is directed, by our constitution, toward community benefit — in the communities that need it most, wherever they are.
About usWhat we do
Six programmes. One mission.
Structured, evidence-based movement education — targeting the communities and challenges that existing provision has consistently failed to reach.
