Women's Health and Excercise

Women's health and exercise are intricately linked, forming the foundation for overall well-being and vitality. Understanding the unique needs and considerations specific to women is essential in creating an effective health and fitness plan.

Women's participation in physical activity is influenced by a multitude of cultural barriers that often go unnoticed or unaddressed. From societal expectations and gender stereotypes to limited access to sports facilities and resources, these factors can significantly discourage women from engaging in sports and exercise.

In a world where pink is often associated with girls and blue with boys, societal expectations can play a significant role in shaping women's views on physical activity. From a young age, girls are sometimes conditioned to believe that their primary role is to be delicate and nurturing, rather than strong and active.

Exercise is the miracle cure we've always had, but for too long we've neglected to take our recommended dose. Our health is now suffering as a consequence. This is no snake oil. Whatever your age, there's strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life.

Our Programs

There are many barriers to women and girls taking part in physical activities including sports:

We support and deliver, often 'free of charge' participation in sports and other physical activities by young women aged 14-25 years of age who are from disadvantaged communities.

We collaborate with sports associations, clubs and organisations to run ‘women/girls only’ taster sessions in a wide range of sports and other activities to help women and girls to find an activity they love.

We run and fund sport and activity camps during school holidays to enable girls to participate in a wide range of activities: being active, learning new skills, making new friends and having fun.

We support individual girls and women or the parents or guardians of girls who wish to gain access to coaching courses for individual sports such as horse riding; tennis and golf at a recognised club (or membership to a local sports club).

We fund qualified exercise teachers/instructors and coaches to cover the cost of the provision of exercise classes or leading teams for women and girls 'free of charge'.

We aim to support women and girls who have a form of learning of physical disability to participate in sport and exercise.

We provide funds to cover the cost of equipment needed by women in girls so that they are able to take part in sports and many other physical activities. This includes specialized disability equipment.

Whether it's a single day out in nature, an adventure holiday, or outward bounds or team building course, we want to support more girls and women to experience the physical and mental health benefits of the great outdoors.
