Rise to empower next generation of female leaders

A programme looking to empower a new generation of female leaders in sport has launched in Northern Ireland.

The Rise programme, funded by Sport Northern Ireland, will provide tailored support for female coaches, officials and sport administrators working in clubs, governing bodies and local sports forums across the region.

The 18-month programme will see 19 women participate in the programme, representing 13 sports. Throughout the programme, the group will delve into a range of different topics including leading change in an organisation.
