This Girl Can

This Girl Can is a celebration of the active women who are doing their thing no matter how they do it, how they look or even how sweaty they get.

The Healthy Lifestyles Team support women and girls in Brighton & Hove to enjoy active lifestyles and we are proud to partner this national campaign organised by Sport England.

This Girl Can campaign looks to celebrate a realistic vision of women and exercise in England and to tackle the gender activity gap. They want to change how women think and feel about exercise and encourage women to be active in ways that work for them, regardless of age, background or ability.

A range of local partners and organisations support girls and women’s participation in sport and physical activity within the city.
