East Grinstead Sports Council

A worrying side effect of the heatwaves.

We aren’t there yet sadly.

Sport gives girls resilience, courage, self-belief and a sense of belonging.

Why then, are they STILL being side-lined?

Our research shows...

❌ Girls are told they don’t belong in sport as young as 5

🚨 Only 30% of parents believe playing sport is very important for their daughter

😡 45% of girls agree that people think sport is for boys and doesn’t matter for girls

These inequalities don’t disappear when a girl grows up. They have far-reaching consequences for the rest of her life: from physical health to mental wellbeing, self-esteem and even career success.

This International Youth Day, we’re asking our supporters to rally around girls.

Donate to our charity to help us keep girls where they belong – in sport.

🌳 Improving Safety Across Mid Sussex Parks & Open Spaces

Mid Sussex District Council is strengthening its approach to understanding how people experience our parks and open spaces.

We know these areas are an important part of everyday life for children, young people, and families. That’s why ensuring they are safe, welcoming, accessible, and inclusive is central to our work.

Creating spaces where everyone feels comfortable and secure is a key part of our commitment to safeguarding and community safety.
