Breaking Barriers: The Access Fit CIC Project

Aim: To build a fully inclusive, disability-led fitness and wellbeing centre where every body feels welcome, supported, and empowered

I’m the founder of Access Fit CIC, a disability-led, not-for-profit organisation based in Greater Manchester. I created this project because, like many others, I’ve experienced how inaccessible traditional fitness spaces can be — both physically and emotionally. Too many people are left out, excluded, or forced to adapt to spaces that were never designed with them in mind.

It’s time for change.

🏗️ Our Vision

Access Fit CIC is building Greater Manchester’s first fully inclusive fitness and wellbeing centre. This space will be purpose-built for disabled people, neurodivergent individuals, and anyone who feels overlooked by mainstream fitness.

We’re creating:

Accessible gym equipment

Hydrotherapy and sensory rooms

Space for wheelchair and crutches-based sports

Therapy and wellbeing rooms

Community support and social areas

We’re not just building a gym — we’re building belonging.

🤝 How You Can Help

Your donation will go directly toward early-stage costs like securing land, architectural planning, and inclusive design. We’re already a registered CIC, and the vision is in motion — we just need your help to take the next step.

Every donation, share, and message of support brings us closer to creating a space where every body is welcome.

Let’s build it together. 💪
