The Project 500 campaign aims to address the imbalance between the number of male to female coaches.
Project 500 is a campaign to address the imbalance in the number of male to female coaches, creating a more diverse workforce to drive the growth of female participation in sport. It has seen hundreds of female coaches recruited, developed and deployed across the seven South East counties. Project 500 doesn’t stop there, further plans are being developed to continue building on its success and be at forefront of female coaching.
Project 500 is an initiative created and delivered by Active Sussex, Active Surrey, Leap, Get Berkshire Active, Kent Sport, Energise Me and Oxfordshire Sports Partnership.
