Active Women

This Girl Can is one that we have been passionate about over the years and we have ran a number of programmes in association with Sport England's national campaign. The This Girl Can campaign, is a celebration of active women who are doing their thing no matter how well they do it, how they look or even how red their face gets. We want to help women overcome the fear of judgement that is stopping too many women and girls from joining in.

Our aim is to tackle the barriers females face in accessing sport and exercise.

We will be running fitness classes throughout the year that will be aimed at females only, make sure you keep a look out for them.
