Black History is more than a month📣 It’s an ongoing commitment, a call to action to learn and do more. We are proud to announce our partnership with eight leading sports organisations for a new research project to better understand the unique needs and experiences of Black British girls in sport. Our previous research has shown a startling disconnect - despite having the most positive attitudes enthusiasm and confidence toward sport among all ethnic groups, only 35% of Black British girls meet recommended activity levels. This disparity speaks to a gap in opportunity, resources, and support that we are determined to address. The findings from this study will be used to drive meaningful change across the sports sector to tackle the inequalities in sport and physical activity for Black British teenage girls. This work is being supported by British Cycling, British Rowing, England and Great Britain Hockey, England Netball, England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the Football Association, the Lawn Tennis Association and England Rugby Read more about the research here: https://lnkd.in/e-Thzwr4 #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2024 #BHM
