The Active, Fit and Sporty Project aims to work strategically with a wide range of partners and key stakeholders to raise the profile of women and girls in sport and physical activity in four key areas. The four key areas were; media (increasing the visibility of female success), leadership (driving cultural change to involve more females in leadership roles), role models (inspiring role models can have a significant impact on participation) and research and evaluation (providing an evidence base to support extending the reach of sport and physical activity).
The Active, Fit and Sporty project has developed female focused campaigns and programmes in these four areas to drive an increase in participation rates of women and girls across Northern Ireland.
