Empowering Birmingham’s Women and Girls in 2026
Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in sports coaching and leadership.
Sport Birmingham are proud to partner with This Girl Can to launch a new festival in April dedicated to empowering the female workforce across our city. To ensure this event meets the needs of our community, we are seeking input from local leaders and volunteers.
🗣️ Help us build a stronger, more inclusive sector and complete this short survey. It's due to close today!
If you would like to find out more about the event, please contact: Nicola.English@sportbirmingham.org or Adam.Warden@Sportbirmingham.org

An active start to 2026!
Is the "back to reality" fatigue setting in?
