Around 60 girls from local schools came together yesterday for a fantastic This Girl Can Festival, funded by Public Health and organised by Wyre Forest School Sport Partnership, PAL Fitness & Education CIC and Rivers Fitness.
Students from schools including St Egwin's and Abbey Park took part in four different activities throughout the day:
💜 Sound Bath with James
💃 Zumba with Susan
💪 Bums & Tums with Susie
🧘 Pilates with Jodi
The girls spent 25 minutes in each activity before rotating around to experience them all.
What made this event particularly special was that the girls attending had been identified by their schools as those who may not normally take part in sport. Some don't enjoy PE lessons, some experience anxiety around physical activity, and others simply feel that traditional sports aren't for them.
The festival was designed to provide a supportive, welcoming environment where they could try something different, build confidence and discover enjoyable ways to be active.
Feedback from the day was extremely positive, with both the Sound Bath and Zumba sessions proving especially popular.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising and delivering the event, and to all the girls who got involved and gave something new a try!
