This Girl Can Festival Videos
Our Second This Girl Can Festival took place during This Girl Can Week (12-19th June 2021) and this year, we took the event virtual!
The event gave girls across Wiltshire and Swindon the chance to try something new and get active, by taking part in 3 non-traditional activities, specifically designed to encourage female participation in physical activity.
The Festival is all about getting your hear rate up, and having fun whilst doing it!
We have made all of the videos from the Festival available on our YouTube Channel, so you can try them at home whenever you like!
Take a look at the video below for a taster of what you can get involved in.

Family Quiz Walks
Following on from the very successful Beat the Street programmes, our partners have a few quiz trails for you to try if you live in Swindon or Trowbridge.
These fun trails walk you through your local area looking for clues in the features and buildings around you. It is a great way to get the whole family out in the fresh air, giving children the opportunity to stay engaged and maybe learn a little on the way.
