Help us to develop, grow and monitor the GM Ringway project

Hello!

While the weather is taking a wintery turn, we thought it would be a good opportunity to make the most of a little more indoor time by asking if you could help us develop, grow and monitor our Heritage Lottery Funded project. Please complete the short survey to fine out about experience on the GM Ringway (what to expect) and what you would like to see from the project in the next few months.

We know surveys aren’t everyone’s idea of fun, so to help give you that little bit of extra drive to fill it out, we are offering you the chance to enter a prize draw for a £25 Love 2 Shop voucher (Terms and conditions apply)

By completing the survey, you are helping us to keep check on our work, make sure we are meeting your needs, make the most of the walking trail and features along the route, and support us to prioritise the work we are doing during our funded period.

Take the survey now! 

Thank you for your continued support!

PS: We haven’t forgotten your dose of GM Ringway inspiration – head down to see a gloriously wintery shot of the Bridgewater canal from Stage 19.

What you can expect to be asked in the survey.

We are looking to find out a bit more about you, and how using the GM Ringway and visiting the parks, canals and historical places along the route make you feel. Our project aims to enable more people to experience walking as a fun activity that improves personal well-being, community connection, and pride for Greater Manchester as a place to live.

You’ll also be asked some more personal questions like your ethnicity, whether you consider yourself to have a disability or long-term health condition and your general well-being. This information helps us to understand more about the people using the trail and features so we can address any imbalance.

We also want to hear what you want to see happen with the project in the next couple of months. Whether that is more community events, a shiny new website, printable maps etc, we want to know! What would help you get out and about on the route of the GM Ringway and in the parks, along the waterways and at the historic locations. Start the survey now.

Of course no e-newsletter from the GM Ringway would be complete without a beautiful picture from the route and some inspiration to get you out exploring.
Here is a wonderfully wintery picture from along the Bridgewater Canal on the the Altrincham to Stretford stage.
