Big Sister Project

The Post Mill Centre is excited to announce our involvement with the ‘Big Sister’ project.

The Big Sister project aims to break down the barriers that teenage girls face in leading healthy, happy and active lives.

Big Sister, led by Women in Sport, working with Hey Girls, Places Foundation and not-for-profit leisure provider Places Leisure, aims to break down the deep seated barriers that teenage girls face in leading healthy, happy and active lives by creating a supportive network of ‘Big Sisters’.

The programme will help girls aged 9-15 years old feel ‘sport ready’ by offering free girl-focused exercise sessions, 6-month gym memberships (unlimited gym and swim) and access to the award-winning Places Locker fitness app.

There will also be free reusable period products, resource packs and a range of digital resources to help girls feel confident enough to take part in sport.

The project will also recruit a network of ‘big sisters’ – peer leaders and supporters from sport, school and community organisations whilst sport leaders will be trained on the emotional and physical barriers girls face.
