The Community Foundation for Greater Manchester administers the Kellogg's Active Living Fund which gives small grants to fund projects and activities which lead to people taking part in sustained physical activity. The fund aims to remove the 'barriers' which prevent people from leading an active life.

The fund is keen to provide grants to activities that enable adults and children to exercise together.
