Active Schools East Lothian launched the all new “Girls on the GO!” programme, supported by a fantastic new resource that is ready to use.  “Girls on the Go!” aims to increase opportunities for inactive girls from P5 to S2 to engage in physical activity.

The ultimate outcome of “Girls on the Go!” is to achieve the following:

• Increase awareness of different activities – provide a variety of activities and/or sports to let girls see what opportunities are available to them
• Health and well-being “education” – promote the benefits of physical activity, healthy eating, and self-confidence through delivery of activities in environments where girls feel comfortable
• Encourage lifelong participation – inspire girls to continue their participation in a particular activity or activities by celebrating their enjoyment successes and achievements

If you are interested in delivering a “Girls on the Go!” club in your school, or you are interested in finding out more information, please contact your local Active Schools Coordinator.
