There’s a number of opportunities for girls and women in the local area to participate in the Town Foundation’s thriving sport programmes!

Since 2018, the Town Foundation has been working hard to offer girls and women in the local area interesting sessions to increase female participation in sport.

This started with the Premier League girls programme as the Foundation joined 88 other clubs around the country to run the football programmes.

Since that point over 100 girls have already taken part in the sessions, that are open to girls of all ability aged 11 and over.

The Town Foundation runs a number of different Premier League Girls football programmes.

In April 2018, the Town Foundation also set-up a new FA programme called SSE Wildcats, which aims to capture the interests of girls aged 5-11 and help increase sport participation.

These sessions have also started to flourish with a number of young girls enjoying the programmes.

Finally, multi-sport sessions have also been introduced for girls and women in the local area. These include a range of activities including boxing and dance!
