Women in Sport has announced that Big Sister, their award-winning programme designed to support teenage girls to enjoy sport, exercise and physical activity during puberty, is today being rolled out across the UK in partnership with Places Leisure.
An initial pilot project, launched in May 2022 in partnership with Places Leisure, Places Foundation and Hey Girls, saw more than 3,000 teenage girls take up activities in their local leisure centres in South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Norfolk. 64% of girls that engaged in the project now enjoy taking part in sport and exercise more and 62% said their overall confidence has improved.
