Here Girls Can

Increasing girls' participation in physical activity

Here Girls Can is a local version of the national Sport England campaign ‘This Girl Can”. It was developed by Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire who we partner with to deliver the project in Herefordshire.

Here Girls Can is a movement which empowers girls to be more active and confident. We work directly with schools, organising festivals, training and other activities to:

• Change the perception of sport and physical activity among females and schools
• Facilitate the discovery and improve the accessibility of physical activity opportunities
• Promote positive mental health through association with physical activity
• Enable and promote positive experiences of sport and physical activity
• Shape in school PE lessons to engage all pupils

Take a lookout our impact reports to find out more about the Here Girls Can Festival, which was developed entirely by girls who wanted a safe, fun and judgement-free space to be active. Our latest report from September 2022 also shows the longer-term impact and culture change that Here Girls Can is having in schools and amongst girls.
