Women and girls are getting more active than ever, but barriers to participation still remain.

Our latest blog explores the importance of creating welcoming spaces where women feel confident to take part in physical activity and the positive impact this can have on health and wellbeing.

It also highlights One You Cheshire East's Women's Only Gym Programme, which supports women to build confidence, improve fitness and develop healthier habits in a female-only environment.
