Join the campaign to help more local women and girls get active by hosting an event as part of Manningham Girls Can Month in November.
We’re inviting local sport clubs and community groups to run activities that inspire women and girls to try something new. It’s all about moving, having fun and feeling great!
Whether it’s a come-and-try session, social walking group, yoga in the park or a group bike ride – there are many different ways to get involved.
We’ll provide support to clubs hosting an event, including planning resources, promotional material and practical tips to get you started.
By hosting a program or event, your club can:
• raise awareness of your organisation and programs in the community
• attract new members and supporters
• boost female participation across a range of ages
• champion inclusion and show that your club celebrates all backgrounds and abilities.
The Bulleen Boomers was one of the groups to get involved last year.
“It’s an incredible opportunity for clubs to engage with the community,” Community Basketball and Programs Officer Jen Hanrahan said.
“Our event highlighted the range of progams available to women of all ages and abilities, making it a great tool for increasing participation across the board.
“Manningham Girls Can offers clubs an opportunity to be inclusive and engage women who may not otherwise participate in traditional sports,” she said.
We’ll create a guide showcasing all the events and activities happening during Manningham Girls Can Month, which will be promoted widely across the community.
Expressions of interest to be part of Manningham Girls Can are open until 11.59pm, Sunday 7 September.
