Help Us Shape the Women & Girls Activity Menu in Rossendale

As part of developing the Rossendale Sport and Physical Activity Strategy 2025–2030, we worked closely with local women and girls to understand their needs, barriers, and motivations around being active.

e consultation and survey told us loud and clear:

• Women and girls want to do more activity because it makes them feel better, but barriers such as cost, time, access, and confidence can hold them back.
• In Rossendale, 73% of males are active compared to just 64% of females – highlighting a gender gap we must address.

 
To respond, we are creating a menu of activities for women and girls across Rossendale – a practical resource that will:

• Showcase what’s currently available.
• Help connect women and girls to opportunities in their community.
• Support partners to work together to close the activity gap.

 
👉 We’d like to include your offer.


Please can you tell us:

• What activities, programmes, or sessions you currently deliver for women and girls (all ages)?
• Any future plans you may have to grow your women and girls’ provision?
• Contact details / booking information so we can share widely.

 
This is an important step in tackling inequalities in participation and ensuring every woman and girl in Rossendale has the opportunity to benefit from being active.

Please Email  [email protected]  by September 1st 2025  so we can include your information in the first draft of the Women and Girls Activity Menu. 
Thank you for the fantastic work you already do in our community – together, we can make Rossendale an Active Valley for everyone.
