Move It 2025 Roadshows

‘Move It’ 2025 Roadshows: Promoting Sustainable Change Across Manor Royal

Since launching in September 2024 as part of Manor Royal BID’s Sustain & Renew programme, the ‘Move it’ initiative has been inspiring employees across the business district to choose greener, smarter, and healthier ways to travel. Working in partnership with West Sussex County Council, Crawley Borough Council, Metrobus, and EasitCRAWLEY, ‘Move it’ has developed into a dynamic platform for promoting sustainable transport and community wellbeing.

Throughout 2025, the ‘Move it’ Roadshow has visited a range of businesses across Manor Royal, sparking conversations about car-sharing, cycling, walking, and public transport. Each event has provided employees with practical tools and information, from EasitCRAWLEY travel discounts to Metrobus ticket offers, making sustainable commuting both accessible and rewarding.

This October, the team visited Acron Aviation, where the event drew strong engagement from staff eager to explore alternative travel options. The session highlighted the benefits of active travel for both health and the environment, supported by Crawley Wellbeing, which shared advice on integrating walking and cycling into daily routines. These on-site events have proved invaluable for building awareness and creating momentum toward behavioural change, one workplace at a time.

A major achievement this year was the integration of the CSR Brokerage Pilot Initiative into the ‘Move It’ partnership, in collaboration with Manor Royal Business District (BID), RPD Foundation, and Crawley Community Action. This initiative connects corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals with local community needs while promoting sustainability. By offering skills-based volunteering opportunities, it allows employees to leverage their expertise for community well-being, fostering impactful partnerships between local businesses and charities.

The ‘Move it’ team extends thanks to all participating organisations for their enthusiasm and commitment. Every conversation, pledge, and action contributes to making Manor Royal a cleaner, greener, and more connected place to work. As the initiative continues to grow, it’s clear that small steps, like swapping one car journey for a walk, cycle, or bus ride, can add up to real, lasting change.
