Inspiring Girls UK

Welcome to #PassTheTorch! Did you know that 86% of girls believe women in sport make good role models? At Inspiring Girls, we understand the profound impact of role models. When young girls see strong, determined women breaking barriers, it ignites their belief in their own potential 🔥🌍 Through our campaign, we're shining a light on some incredible female athletes who are defying stereotypes and empowering the next generation ✨💪 We’d love you to join us! Share your stories to help us raise awareness of the importance and benefits of sporting role models as well as the barriers girls face to participation. Together, we can keep the torch burning bright for girls everywhere 🙌 📊 Statistic from Girlguiding - Girls’ Attitude Survey
