The award-winning She’s Ready programme

Was the brainchild of Lisa Wright & Sarah Potts at Active Life for A Healthier You, a physical activity community interest company based in Essex. After seeing and hearing how women felt about volunteering, physical activity and social action, the team at Active Life set about developing this woman led programme.

The key aims of the She’s Ready philosophy are;

Using women to empower other women to build confidence
Improve physical and mental wellbeing
Women benefitting from social action
Women are part of a movement that can make real changes in their communities
Always making it fun

Three years of success running the programme locally

After a successful three years of running the programme locally, and with funding from Sport England and support from Spring Impact, a global leader in social replication, Active Life for a Healthier You were able to develop a national programme for the market. Five Active Partnerships (Active Essex, Active Gloucestershire, Get Berkshire Active, RISE and North Yorks) have supported the team at She’s Ready to identify local organisations in their areas to be part of the pilot and access a small pot of funding toire help support an activation programme.

She’s Ready is a powerful movement where we are supporting women to start their own revolution in getting active. With our help these women are creating a community of revolutionists that are physically active, empowered to help others and be the best version of themselves. We are unapologetically loud and proud; we know the power of the She’s Ready team members and truly believe that activity, in one form or another, is achievable for everyone.
Lisa Write She’s Ready Programme Manager
We are very excited to be a part of this programme for the benefit of the women in our communities. We hope that local residents share our enthusiasm and see this as an open opportunity, to join with other women and empower each other through activity and have some fun in the process.
