Girls Active
Posted: Jun 14, 2018 by: Liam Kershaw (LKershaw) on: Class 4
Yesterday, I was very lucky to be able to take Darcey, Gretel and Lyela to a course about how to encourage girls to be more active. This is a National Lottery funded project which was set up because by the time girls are in their mid-teens only 7% of them are as active as is recommended. The drop off happens from age 7 upwards.
In an attempt to combat this, the Girls Active project will train girls to be leaders in motivating and facilitating other girls to be more active. Our three new Girls Active Leaders (or GALs as they decided to be called!) are incredibly enthusiastic about this exciting new project and soon you will see some new initiatives they are starting! I was also fortunate enough to be given some training on how to empower the girls and give them the support they need to do this.
We want to make our girls unstoppable!

Lyela's enthusiasm for physical exercise has improved a lot, she is eager to share what she has learned with other girls. |
