Yorkshire: imove
imove celebrates human movement in all its forms, whether expressive, competitive or simply for the joy of experiencing the world by moving through it. Its mission is ‘to transform the relationship between people and their moving bodies’, which it will do through activities across the region, including movement in surprising places.

The programme creates unique crossovers between culture, sport, physical activity and learning. It will be energising, challenging, creative and uplifting for participants, audiences and for the many partners who we expect to be involved in designing and delivering activity over the next three years.
In addition to the Legacy Trust UK as major funder, funds for imove are also being contributed by Yorkshire Forward and Arts Council England, Yorkshire and has a total target budget of £3.5 million.
