Women's Sports Week - 2017 - #ShowUP and run a TRY DAY for your sport/class!
Kicking off at the start of a packed summer of women’s sport, @Women’SportsWeek takes place between 19-25 June. We've been preparing for it since 1st Jan with our ACTIV8aFriend 'nudge' programme. ACTIV8aFriend is all about inviting ('nudging') your mother, daughter, sister, auntie, neighbour or work friends to get ACTIVE with you. All the research shows that women enjoy sport more & get ACTIVE if they do it together. Why not #ShowUP to one of these events AND ACTIV8aFriend to join you at your own TRY DAY at your club or class?

How you can help us get 'more women, more ACTIVE' - One hour a month is all it takes for women around the world to tweet and remind their friends/neighbours & relatives how good it is to get ACTIVE . . . and how easy it is to get ACTIVE with the help of a friend to coax you.
#ACTIV8afriend is like #FF but with PURPOSE and real OUTCOMES of getting women and girls more ACTIVE. This 'nudge' programme can really make a difference to womens' health, wellness and empowerment – and YOU can help just by engaging on social media. ACTIVE8afriend will also help all those thousands of women around the world who are running small, independent and often voluntary clubs/classes – all helping women get ACTIVE together. We'll provide monthly promotional posters for you to edit and print about special offers (BOGOFs, Mother & Daughter, 241, Loyalty card etc.) and there's lots more support planned to help promote small, community-based clubs/classes promote their activities.
