Women’s Running has featured our Big Sister project, which inspired thousands of young girls to get active, on their website.
“The Big Sister project was set out with a clear mission: to bust the myth that teenage girls are innately averse to exercise.
Women in Sport is the UK’s leading charity for female sports research. They designed the Big Sister project to combat a sharp drop-off in sport during teenage years. It was created by and shaped for girls, putting their needs and voices front and centre.”
