Hayley Lever

For 30 years, Hayley has played a leadership role in physical activity, sport, policy, and community development; currently as CEO of GM Moving, a charity leading a movement for movement in Greater Manchester, England. Hayley is a committed community volunteer and charity trustee where she lives in the Peak District.

Hayley has always believed in the power of an active life for health, happiness, friendship, and community. She is a passionate advocate of this agenda.

Hayley’s role involves leading for change and shifting culture and systems in Greater Manchester. She believes that a whole system approach to supporting active lives is the only way we will succeed in designing moving back into life and addressing health inequalities.

Hayley leads with humility and curiosity and has an open approach to learning and connecting others. She recognises that working in complexity is challenging, and practices what she preaches as she unwinds, and makes sense of the work, whilst walking, swimming, running.
