Greater Manchester Cycling Campaign - is a voluntary group working to make cycling in Greater Manchester quicker, safer, easier and more enjoyable. Less than 5% of journeys in Greater Manchester are by bicycle because many people who would like to cycle are intimidated by the quantity and speed of motorised traffic. GMCC is campaigning to change this and wants more people to use bicycles or other kinds of human powered vehicle for transport and leisure.
Hazards Campaign - is a network of resource centres and campaigners on health and safety at work.
