Interim Director of Sport Rebecca Hope said: “Our Be Seen, Be Heard, Belong campaign aims to encourage women & girls to get involved or come back to sport for the mental and physical benefits of physical activity.
“Sport is crucial for all of us whether it be for competition, socialising, fitness or our mental health. Outdoors week is an opportunity for people to try something new or have another go at an activity in a welcoming environment which can then be taken forward for years to come.”
