Nearly 10 years have passed since London hosted the Olympic Games. Throughout this time, departments and senior leaders have pledged to transform activity levels for all in the UK regardless of age, background, gender, or social status. 

The high levels of investment have positively impacted participation levels across the country with more people than ever taking part in some form of physical activity each week. However, research reveals that even though a spike, women remain less active than men. 

The gender gap needs to be addressed. We must share an ambition to raise the visibility of women and girls' exercise patterns, to promote greater investment, engagement to further understand the impact of women's health and to maintain and challenge the thinking, obstacles, and acceptance of women in senior leadership positions. 

This webinar will help you further understand; 

  • Post the pandemic current activity levels and trends of women and girls activity levels 

  • This Girl Can campaign, how new partners can help to evolve the programme.

  • Women's health, menopause and how it affects exercise patterns

  • Business, the boardroom, media, and commercial opportunities
