This November your Sport and Student Development Officer Lucy is running the She Can/ They Can campaign with events and activities throughout the month to get involved in. Inspired by'This Girl Can', the campaign aims to inspire and empower all women, non-binary people and other marginalised genders to take part in sport and feel confident when doing so. Whether you're a regular at Coombe Dingle, or have never felt a sports ground is somewhere for you, we want to help you build community and friends on and off the pitch and to make physical activity at UoB something you feel is safe and fun for all.
With events from movie nights and drop ins with Lucy to sports fixtures and even a Carnival Fitness session in the Anson rooms, we hope there is something for everyone. Working closely with the University Sports Department, we will also be raising awareness of the regular women's only gym/swim/class sessions for Bristol students.
Lucy told us, "I wanted to run this to campaign to highlight the place women and non-men hold in sport, I want to empower them to try something new or carry on with a sport they play, no matter how they look when doing it or how much they sweat. There's a place for everyone in sport and we need to show that at Bristol."
You can see all of the events that will be happening this month below, and if you're a team wanting to support the campaign you can find assets to share on social media here. Get involved!
