The Local Government Association has launched a call for evidence looking at supporting women and girls to be more active.
Research shows that women are persistently less active than men and the gender gap starts from a young age with 4 in 10 women not active enough to ensure they get the full health benefits.
Cllr Liz Green, writing in first magazine, sets out how the LGA’s Culture, Tourism and Sport Board is promoting equality and supporting councils to help communities to be active.
We are looking for case studies and examples of initiatives to get women and girls active to help us develop a resource hub and evidence to inform our discussions with national stakeholders.
Please send your contributions to Samantha.Ramanah@local.gov.uk as soon as possible.
