The Girls Group will promote healthy eating and regular physical activity by providing fun activities for girls aged 11-18. It will run initially for 12 weeks, but funding is sought to continue the project for up to a year with the same group.

Teenage girls in our area have a particularly low self-esteem and self belief. They are also less likely than boys to participate in regular physical activity. The local high school have acknowledged the need for the project and are making referrals to it.

The project aims to work with 15 young women over an initial 12 week period. We are fundraising to expand this project for up to a year.
