EmpowerHER

  • 4 March 2024 - 8 March 2024
  • Various
  • Mixed Venues

EmpowerHER, held in line with International Women's Day 2024 aims to provide opportunities for women to conquer barriers to physical activity in environments where they can feel comfortable and supported.

Whether you're a student, staff member, or part of the Loughborough community, if you're looking to try something new or connect with like-minded individuals, the week will host various activities and events, ensuring there's something for everyone.

EmpowerHER isn't just about getting active; it's about shifting perceptions and empowering women to embrace physical activity confidently and enthusiastically. We recognise that many girls and women face societal pressures, self-doubt, or perceived barriers when it comes to exercise.

Our mission is to create inclusive and supportive environments where every woman feels valued and respected on her journey to active well-being. Through a schedule of activities tailored to diverse interests and skill levels, we aim to foster spaces free from judgment or intimidation.
