About ManchesterUp

ManchesterUp was founded by Callan McGiveron, who has spent years working in South Manchester’s charity sector, and Bilal Remi Omoboye, a trusted and well-known figure in his community. After twenty years in social work across South Manchester, Bilal now coaches many of the young people growing up in the same neighbourhoods he has dedicated his career to.
​
We take a head-on approach to the barriers people face so that everyone is included and nobody is left behind. Across south Manchester, we create safe, welcoming spaces for martial arts, self-defence, mental health support, education and everyday community, at no cost to our community members.
​
As an asset-locked, not-for-profit CIC, ManchesterUp is committed to the community we serve. Every decision we make reflects that.
