commutabubble provides convenient, secure and affordable space for active commuters.
We work with high street retailers and property owners to convert empty or undertilised properties into commutabubbles.
Convenient
Current facilities provided to active commuters are poorly located, poorly equipped or in many cases non existent.
commutabubble addresses this by locating on the high street, near to active commuter infrastructure and your workplace
Secure
There are a few examples of safe and secure storage – but these are generally oversubscribed or prohibitively expensive.
commutabubble addresses this by providing facilities so you can feel safe and secure at all times
Affordable
Active commuting is good for you and good for the environment, it shouldn’t be expensive
commutabubble sanctuary’s are subsidised by local authorities and employers to encourage you to actively commute
commutabubble is a social enterprise
with a clear mission to create an interconnected and sustainable active travel commuter ecosystem for the good of the individual, the environment and society as a whole
commutabubble is focused on addressing three main factors
High street demise
A combination of several factors has resulted in a sustained reduction of footfall on the high street, combined with rising business rates and rents resulting in an increase in the number of shop closures – further threatening the sustainability of the high street
Growth of obesity
Obesity Is Now A Bigger Killer Than Smoking; “If physical activity were a drug, we’d talk about it as a miracle cure”. In the 2020s, people will not be passive recipients of care, we will be co-creators of our own health – we will all need to change our behaviours
Poor air quality
Air pollution can cause both short term and long term effects on health and many people are concerned about pollution in the air that they breathe. Many cities are planning on creating clean air zones (CAZ) by 2020 to improve the air quality in our cities
What our supporters say
the commutabubble proposition offers many benefits which strongly align with our Sustainable Development Management Plan and wider NHS strategies such as the Long – Term Plan and Greener NHS campaign.
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
We unreservedly support their efforts as they seek external grant funding to further develop their idea to encourage sustainable commuting and build an active commuting community.
