Home > News and Campaigns > Campaigns we support > This Girl Can Sussex – Stories
We are honoured to share stories from women in Sussex about their active journeys in order to inspire others.
The following women have offered to share their own physical activity or sporting journey. This may be using exercise to support their mental wellbeing or becoming a leader/coach/instructor to support others following their own journey to be active.
These women are helping to inspire and motivate other women and girls to get active in their own communities. You can follow some of them on social media or via the This Girl Can Sussex Instagram page or hear about their experiences at one of our This Girl Can Sussex Network events.
I qualified as a Run Leader in May 2017, after joining and completing a ‘Learn to Run’ programme in 2016. It turned into a form of therapy for me during a really difficult time. I wanted to share this passion with others so just after my Graduation Parkrun 5K, I asked a small group of my cousins if they’d like to start running. I downloaded a 0-5K programme online and taught them everything I knew. Within 10 weeks, they ran 5K.
I believe in leading by example by creating a diverse and equal running culture. I now volunteer with a local running club, Crawley Run Crew (CRC) and started my own Ladies-Only Boot Camp. I want to challenge the stereotypes in the South Asian community by using my training and qualifications to encourage women from all faiths and backgrounds to feel confident and comfortable about exercise.
I’m 58 years old and I have had MS for 20 years. This is a picture of me on my Alinker walking bike which is my mobility aid. I use it instead of a seated rollator.
My whole life I have been passionate about health, inclusion, accessibility, and exercise, particularly for women and girls. I believe women from any background can connect through sport and physical activity – even if you don’t speak the same language.
Do whatever you need to do to get moving. Whether it’s wearing period or pee proof pants, compression socks or bandages. Whether you use adapted assistive devices, or do it sitting down. Just keep moving and have fun!
I have a unique role working for Sport for Confidence where I provide inclusive sporting opportunities for people with learning disabilities, mental health issues, dementia, autism, physical impairment or disability, and many other complex health needs. I am passionate about helping people to live their life to the fullest and I am a great believer in the benefits physical activity has on physical and mental wellbeing.
I want to encourage other women to be more active, especially those who are peri-menopausal or are going through the menopause (like myself), as being physically active has really helped me manage my symptoms, improve my confidence, and boost my physical and mental wellbeing.
I grew up in a working class family and activities outside of school time were not often available due to cost and travel etc. Then when I became a mum at 23, I rarely found time for myself as being a mum became my key role and time and finances were in short supply.
I decided to train as an athletics coach in 2005 to enable my children and their home educated friends to have PE lessons. My son, Callum, who has some disabilities and barriers to participation made me realise that not everyone has the option to access and enjoy sport. We started Defiant Sports with a mission to help anyone with a barrier to participation to get involved with sport.
I want to help other women and girls overcome the barriers they face, to ensure everyone can access sport, regardless of age, ability or gender.
I started exercising at 45, I was seriously overweight, with a combination of health issues that meant many exercise classes were out of my reach. The majority of trainers wouldn’t touch me as I was deemed high risk, and wasn’t given any help or advice by my GP.
My lungs are damaged from a pulmonary embolism and I had all the usual hang ups that middle aged women do about going to classes, or the gym plus a few other things to worry about. It’s taken me 7 years but I am now a personal trainer and a Level 4 Pulmonary Rehabilitation Trainer. It’s never too late to get fit and healthy!
The first advert for This Girl Can was my inspiration. I still watch the advertisement when in need of a reminder of how far I have come.
After having my children via c-section and my body never going back to its pre-baby shape, I experienced lack of confidence due to how we should look by “society”. After my divorce I found exercise supported my mental health as I went through difficult times.
I now work in the fitness industry and have worked in several initiatives to get young women into physical activity, but more recently I’ve been looking to develop my knowledge in how exercise can support women going through the menopause.
I have a great passion to work with women to look after our overall wellbeing both mentally and physically through becoming more active.
I am the Women & Girls Development Officer for the Sussex Cricket Foundation. I first started playing cricket when I was 6 years old, playing for the boys’ team, Shoreham CC and was selected for Sussex at the age of 10.
I won five County Championships as a player and became the head coach between 2012 – 2016, with the side winning the County Championship in 2013 and the National T20 cup in 2016.
My role for the Sussex Cricket Foundation is to develop women and girls cricket across Sussex from community, school to club level. Things have certainly changed when I first started playing the sport – there never used to be any women and girls cricket. I really want to show women and girls the opportunities that are now there to get involved in cricket across Sussex. I also know how sport can have an impact and help someone with their mental health, as I have had depression for many years, been through many difficult times with it, but being involved in sport has helped me.
I am a mother of 3 amazing children and a personal trainer. I believe there has never been a more pressing time to impregnate the priority of physical and mental self-care in women in our communities.
My role as a personal trainer combines the conventional physical exercise element, typical of any other personal trainer remit, alongside guidance on nutrition and life coaching to cleanse the mind and re-establish life changing behaviour patterns and build confidence. This is KEY to the success criteria of my work. It prevents the journey and investment from being a “fad” to something far more enriching and life changing. The work I do changes people’s lives for the better long term and that’s what makes me unique.
I’ve been really lucky to have had a great experience of sport and physical activity throughout my life which was embedded by my family and my school experience. Sport and physical activity is so important for girls and women, not only for physical health but for our mental wellbeing, but I know from working in this area that not all girls and women have that positive experience.
Now being a mum to twin girls, it’s given me even more drive to make sure that females get equal opportunities and that there is a level playing field for all to take part. I want to share my experience of being a working mum of twin girls and how I try to keep active, while juggling everything and trying to be a positive role model to them. I actively tell my daughters that girls and women can do everything that boys and men can do like playing football, cricket or cycling. Even in 2021 there still isn’t an equal playing field and that’s why campaigns like This Girl Can are so important!
It feels like yesterday when I remember getting changed for PE in primary school and thinking, I wish I could do this all the time and be just like Mrs Thompson (my PE teacher). I was blessed to have a fantastic PE department and I was always supported with my dreams and never felt at a disadvantage due to my colour or gender. Unfortunately, the inequalities surrounding racism and sexism became apparent more in my adult life.
Sussex has many non-white communities within it and I urge that this platform is represented by us. There are many voices who want to be heard and passions and dreams that want to be achieved in sport and physical activity. Sometimes you need to see representation to really believe ‘it’s for you, too’.
I have been teaching PE at my local school for 18 years. I would love to encourage more girls and women within the Uckfield community to get active. I’ve always loved sport and played lots of team sport, but two years ago I took up running after my mum’s best friend was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. I wanted to help raise funds for the MNDA and, through training for the event, fell in love with running.
Lockdown increased the opportunities to run when my other sporting options were paused. I’ve enjoyed running in my local community, passing pupils from both primary and secondary schools, as well as their families. I hope in some way that I am serving as a role model to some of them. Lots of my students will say at school “I saw you out running at the weekend Miss!”, and that makes me smile!
I am an enthusiastic Primary school teacher and Physical Education lead at a school in Arundel. I have been taking my health and fitness seriously since the beginning of January – I love the feeling of getting fit and being active. I like to motivate and promote sport and physical activity opportunities to my Year 3 class, the whole school, family, friends and my local community.
I enjoy inspiring and motivating other women young and old by sharing my journey on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook and I am also in control of my school’s social media and local football club where I will be able to promote the This Girl Can campaign further into the local community.
As my role as a PE lead, I deliver sessions and add them to my school virtual classroom. I would love to set up one for this campaign and grow my audience further whilst being a good role model to all.
About four years ago I was overweight and inactive. I took up walking and hiking – at that point I struggled to walk ten minutes without getting out of breath.
Five months later I walked a marathon. I shared this journey with the school community via social media and found more and more parents and children were keen to have a go. I then wrote a personal challenge program for the school to support and encourage children and families to get active together.
When I took up running I ran in the morning in the dark because I was embarrassed and lacked confidence – I didn’t look like a runner and wasn’t very fast. I joined a virtual women’s running group and the support and confidence they gave me was amazing. We build each other up. That has been an important part of my fitness journey and I would love to do this for other women.
I am a PE and Dance teacher at Chichester High School, West Sussex. I am 2nd in Department and KS3 lead and also lead the Netball for our amazing 6th form sport academy. I was lucky enough to have incredible role models within sport growing up and I want to be that person for someone else as well as create the same opportunities I had for the children I teach.
Sport not only offers physical benefits but social and emotional benefits that our girls so desperately need! Having confidence in yourself changes ambition and attitude to all areas of life and sport is the perfect platform to build it.
As a Primary School PE lead, my role is to encourage and promote activity for all. I am passionate about ensuring girls have opportunities to be active and most importantly, have the confidence to be active.
I believe that it’s important to put this in place from an early age: supporting, encouraging, and showing girls that they can. I have had great success at my school with improving the participation of girls within sport and physical activity as well as the participation of family members too.
In my personal life, I enjoy running, rowing and strength based weight exercise. I believe it’s important to be a positive role model to others and I love inspiring others to move more and feel great!
Before I started Kickboxing at 18 I probably appeared confident, as I was always chatty and sociable. However, looking back, my self-esteem was pretty low. I always had a full face of make-up, hair, nails and tan. The thought of anyone seeing me otherwise gave me anxiety. When I started kickboxing all of that changed – I finally started to feel comfortable in my own skin.
The more I trained the more my confidence grew and after a few months I decided to have my first competition. I went on a 10 fight win streak after that and went on to compete at an international level and win several Championships. Since then, I have taught Kickboxing, mainly to women and teenage girls for about 10 years. I’d love to continue to teach and hopefully inspire more women in my local area to get moving and get involved with this great campaign.
I have been involved in women’s rugby for a number of years now, playing at championship level and below, coaching the girls’ game at schools and clubs. I previously won a RFU Rugby Hero Award for my work in school providing girls’ rugby (as an English teacher) and was one of the people who built the girls section at Hove Rugby Club.
Providing a space for girls and women to feel strong and powerful is so important to me, I want more women to feel confident and in control of their lives. For me, growing up in a small town, I always thought and was told I wasn’t sporty – but I’ve found that to be so wrong when I found weights and contact sport as a woman! I want to make sure other girls don’t feel that way now, and know there are a variety of activities out there – and something which will suit them and their lifestyle.
As someone involved in team sports (rugby and cricket), I think this is a really undervalued route for women’s fitness. Team sport provides a space for more than just fitness, it also gives you a supportive community of team mates – it’s a bond like no other! I know a lot of women and girls hesitate because learning a new sport and joining a new team can be very intimidating, and I’ve worked hard to try to break that down.
I’m a level 2 rugby coach and have coached women and girls in schools, clubs and at the University of Sussex. I helped set up Pulborough Women’s Rugby team 4 years ago. I also set up social media specific to Hurstpierpoint women’s cricket team, to help promote the sport from a female viewpoint. I’m passionate about getting more women and girls into team sports and desperately wish I had started from a younger age, as I believe it does so much for a person’s confidence, values and sense of belonging.
I have the privilege of working in sport, currently as Marketing & Communications Manager for Table Tennis England. Previously, whilst working in marketing for Rounders England, I helped to amplify the This Girl Can message and promote the campaign. I am also a Non-Executive Director for Parkour UK.
My passion is all things sport and I am currently Female Captain for the running club I belong to, ‘Run Wednesdays’, in Eastbourne. I believe in the power of sport to change people’s lives and have witnessed this first-hand and want to help share this with more women and girls in my local community.
I’ve been active since a young age, something that I think has built long-lasting confidence for keeping active into adulthood. When I started working as an adult I found myself getting more anxious and stressed. Getting outdoors and getting active helps me with my mental health so much – I love long walks, camping and going for bike rides on my own and with other women.
I like to inspire other women to be able to go outside for walks, hikes and bike rides with confidence and not to feel scared of violence or harassment. Getting moving should be fun and I want to help women find the fun of getting outdoors!
I was born at 26 weeks, having suffered with cognitive brain development issues and chronic lung disease. I have severe asthma and inflammatory lung issues that cause me a lot of pain every day. I started playing rugby in my final year of university as a way to challenge myself and connect with others and I have loved it ever since and I will never let my conditions become a barrier.!
I currently hold the title of Miss Brighton 2021 and I’m a huge advocate for diversity, inclusion, breaking stereotypes and showing that you can do anything you set your mind to. I want to inspire others that this girl can! It’s time to say goodbye to the stereotypes.
Physical activity is important to me for many reasons: I want to be as fit and as healthy as I can be but it also gives me that feel-good factor that keeps me going!
I play ladies’ football and love being part of this highly supportive group. Each session is a fun-filled way of keeping active and getting involved in something. I’m excited to be a This Girl Can Sussex Champion as I would like everyone to have the opportunity to experience how good physical activity makes you feel – and see that you can get active no matter what your age may be. You don’t have to stop!
