Working with schools, leisure providers and sporting organisations across Worcestershire, Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire delivered an energetic, vibrant and engaging campaign, addressing mental health and changing the perception of sport and physical activity among females. 0 1 Project Description Worcs Girls Can is a vibrant In 2019 we worked with 8 lead celebration of active schools across Worcestershire females. The campaign to help us engage even more directly tackles the fear of girls in sport and physical judgement that, according to activity: -North Bromsgrove High School research, stops so many - The Chantry School women and girls from - Trinity High School participating in sport and - Tudor Grange Academy Worcester - Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic physical activity. College - The De Montford School - Bowbrook House School - The Bewdley School What we did The campaign was launched through female-only assemblies for years 7-11, raising awareness of the issues surrounding girls' PE, insight around female participation as well as the association between physical activity and positive mental health. In January we hosted a TGC conference, inviting student champions and PE leads involved in the campaign. This gave students a taster of the campaign, encouraged them as leaders, as well as explored issues surrounding female participation in their school. Lead and support schools were invited to a Worcestershire Touch Rugby tournament, hosted by the Worcester Warriors, to begin the campaign week, before non-traditional mass-participation sessions took place in each of their schools. Activities included: zumba, clubbercise, shabam, yoga, dance, self-defence, bounce and body combat. Leisure providers and sporting organisations also supported the campaign, offering free access to their activities through the 'Peach Pass' scheme. Across Worcestershire, we engaged over 6,100 women and girls in the campaign. 0 2 Bromsgrove & Redditch Highlights We received a grant from The Oakland Foundation to support the campaign in Redditch and Bromsgrove 1,117 girls engaged within Trinity High School and North Bromsgrove High School Our Lead Schools were interviewed by BBC Hereford & Worcester and Free Radio 'Behind the Scenes with Sky Sports' tour took place, including a keynote from Jodie Gibson (Commonwealth medallist) and tickets to the Severn Stars game at the University of Worcester Arena. 9 local schools were involved in the campaign across Redditch and Bromsgrove Trinity High School welcomed a visit from their local MP 0 3 Our Campaign Aims A C C O R D I N G T O S P O R T E N G L A N D O N L Y 3 1 . 6 % O F W O M E N P L A Y S P O R T A T L E A S T O N C E A W E E K C O M P A R E D T O 4 1 . 7 % O F M E N .
