About Us

At Strength and Movement Project CIC, we believe movement is medicine. We exist to make strength, health, and sport accessible to everyone — from young children finding their confidence, to older adults rediscovering the joy of movement.

Our Mission

To improve physical and mental wellbeing across Sunderland by breaking down barriers to sport and fitness, creating inclusive opportunities for all ages and abilities.

What We Do

Deliver innovative programmes such as Movement is Medicine, funded by Sport England.
Run community sports projects including football fitness, disability sport, and walking football.
Support young athletes through development programmes, testing, and inclusive coaching.
Work in schools, community hubs, and sports clubs to bring activity closer to those who need it most.

Why It Matters

Strength and movement aren’t just about sport — they’re about confidence, connection, and long-term health. By making programmes affordable and inclusive, we aim to reduce health inequalities and give everyone the tools to thrive.
