Make Space for Girls Parks, play equipment and public spaces for older children and teenagers are currently designed for the default male.  Girls are never asked what they might want and most councils have spent more time and money on facilities for dog waste than they have for teenage girls.

This absence has important implications for how active girls are, for their health in later life, and for how they see themselves as belonging in public spaces.

Mind Health and Sport / Activity video library. We joined with Active Humber and North Yorkshire Sport to help Mind to produce videos you can use on social media, websites, presentations, conferences. They show communities why being active is good for mental health, or to influence someone in a decision making role about the power of sport.

They were launched on 6 October on YouTube, which is how we’re encouraging people to use them so we can track views. However, they are also available on a Google Drive, which also contains a comms guide two-pager.
