Active Essex, the county’s sport and physical activity partnership, is expanding its successful This Girl Can Essex programme by encouraging more women around the county to become ambassadors.
‘This Girl Can Essex’ is a localised programme of the successful national campaign spearheaded by Sport England. The goal is to inspire women to get active by showing them how exercise can be fun, enjoyable and sociable whatever your age or ability.
Joanna Pang, from Southend-On-Sea, said: “You don’t have to be super fit to be an ambassador, it’s all about helping others enjoy what you love and helping them achieve a goal one step at a time”.
The role of the ambassadors is really important as it brings communities together and seeks to inspire women and girls to get involved with groups and clubs in their area, with the ultimate goal of maintaining a regular level of physical activity. All the This Girl Can Essex ambassadors are given help and support from Active Essex on how to make the most out of their role.
