Girls on the Move

Girls on the Move is a funding programme designed to increase physical activity levels in girls and young women in Scotland. A sum of £450,000 over three years has been made available by the Robertson Trust and the Scottish Executive Health Improvements Budget.

Leadership Programme


What is the funding for?

The Girls on the Move Leadership Programme provides opportunities for young women aged 16 – 24 to gain leadership skills. Applicants do not have to be skilled or experienced in sport or dance but must have an enthusiasm for physical activity and must be interested in becoming a leader within their own community, youth group or school.

Girls on the Move organises leadership courses all over Scotland. They are usually residential and run over the course of 2 days or 5 days.

How much money is available?
Successful applicants will be sent on a training course organised by the Programme where the following costs will be funded:
• Accommodation and catering costs
• Facilities and equipment costs
• Training and Award Resource costs for the duration of the course.
Participants will be asked to make a commitment of £20 each towards the course and will have to pay for their own travel costs.

Who can apply?
Applications are particularly welcome from:

* young women living in disadvantaged communities or those who have experienced homelessness or are living in care
* young women with disabilities or mental health issues
* young women from black and ethnic minority communities
* young women who are mothers of young children

Unfortunately young women with a degree or with a formal sports qualification are not eligible to apply.

When to apply
At any time.
