One of Wales’ greatest-ever athletes and Chair of Sport Wales, Tanni Grey-Thompson, is calling on the next Welsh Government to adopt several policies which would, amongst other things, help to keep more girls engaged in sport and physical activity from a young age.
Making sport and physical activity an accessible choice for women and girls
Women's sport is gaining more recognition, respect and momentum, but Tanni believes that bold action is required to make sport and physical activity an accessible choice for more women and girls.
Tanni said: “We’re enjoying a massive summer of women’s sport with so many major events that are gripping the nation. I loved watching the Welsh women’s football team competing at the Euros, we can all feel inspired by the Lionesses success whether you’re English or not, and I’m really proud that we’ve just held a major women’s golf championship for the first time in Wales at Royal Porthcawl. We also have the Rugby World Cup to look forward to.
