My mission for the day

My main role for my visit to Aireville was to support the girls from the Craven Partnership to launch three out of their five action points. These include; – Attending the inaugural GirlsActive steering group (10 selected girls from 5 schools were invited to attend the day), – Launch of the Craven Changing Rooms Challenge – Presented the first Craven GirlsActive Awards.
The girls were really committed to making change and I hope I supported them on these three elements to really help kick start the work that they plan to do to make a difference.
