Partner with us
We bring the method.
You bring the place.
Together we build programmes that are fundable, impactful, and genuinely embedded in the communities we serve.
The case for partnership
Neither of us could do this alone.
Movement & Place CIC brings twenty years of coaching methodology, qualified coaches, safeguarding infrastructure, and direct relationships with Sport England, NHS commissioners, and major grant funders. What we need from partners is space, infrastructure, and commitment to a shared mission.
A landowner with outdoor space paired with a credible delivery organisation is among the most competitive profiles available for place-based community funding. We know how to make it work.
Who we work with
Four types of partner.
Landowners & developers
Space that needs activating
We design, programme, and activate outdoor movement spaces. We bring Sport England, GLA, and DCMS funding relationships to the table — making a jointly competitive funding application achievable from day one.
What we need: access to outdoor space, planning support, and a minimum financial or in-kind commitment.
NHS & social prescribing
Movement as a clinical pathway
Our MOVE WELL programme integrates directly with social prescribing referral pathways for adults with mild-to-moderate anxiety and depression. Outcomes measured using WEMWBS, PHQ-9, and GAD-7.
What we need: a referral agreement, patient consent process, and participation in outcome monitoring.
Schools & local authorities
Education partnerships
In-school PE sessions, after-school parkour clubs, alternative provision for PRUs and homeschool settings, and structured youth development programmes aligned to the National Curriculum.
What we need: a formal partnership agreement and access to participants.
Corporate & workplace
ESG and employee wellbeing
Lunchtime and workplace wellbeing programmes, plus named programme sponsorship for CSR reporting. We provide ESG impact data, quarterly social impact reports, and media coverage.
What we need: a CSR or wellbeing budget commitment and staff engagement.
