Sportni and sported team up to engage women

Thirty local sports clubs and organisations in Northern Ireland will be given tools and resources to help them attract more women and girls to take part in activities.

The clubs will benefit from the Engage Her programme, organised by sports charity, Sported, thanks to funding from Sport NI. Through training and resources, clubs will be supported to develop a plan to engage women and girls within their sport, to challenge attitudes and remove barriers to participation and to increase capacity to provide opportunities for women and girls activities.

Each club will receive a £2,000 grant to support their engagement plan. Engage Her is a volunteer-supported programme designed to increase grassroots clubs/groups’ understanding and knowledge on how to help engage women and girls.
