Women and Girls
It is important that everyone is supported to lead more active and healthier lifestyles in Barnet, especially women and girls as research conducted by Sport England demonstrates that female physical activity levels are lower than males. This is often masked by many barriers to participation such as self-confidence and competing priorities.
