Free Women’s Recreational Football Sessions

Free recreational women’s football sessions will be taking place at Stanley Park Sports Ground on Monday’s in October. Women of any ability can simply turn up to attend the sessions and take part for free, as an opportunity to meet new people and get active with the community.

She Can Be Active partners with Community ISP Lit Fibre to provide the hour-long sessions will take place every Monday at 6.30pm from the 9th October until the end of the month, with the aim of increasing women’s participation in the sport.

Chloe Monk, Coach for the She Can Be Active football sessions, says: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Lit Fibre to offer free women’s football session for the month of October. We aim to support women to overcome barriers to being physically active and we are looking forward to a long-standing partnership with Lit Fibre to help Chippenham get moving.”

As part of the ongoing partnership, Lit Fibre will then fund the ‘She Can Be Active’ coach until the end of the year, so local women can continue to enjoy the benefits of these recreational sessions at the grounds at a small cost.

Lit Fibre is also a proud sponsor of Stanley Park Sports Ground, one of Wiltshire’s largest outdoor sporting venues offering world-class grounds and indoor facilities. The grounds recently received a striking facelift by Lit Fibre to help boost the team spirit of over 125 local sports teams, clubs and organisations that use the space.

Paul Harvey, Head of Leisure Services for Chippenham Town Council comments on the partnership: “We are looking forward to kicking off this long-term partnership with Lit Fibre to help boost the community and all that use the grounds. The ideas Lit Fibre has already shared have driven excitement for the future of this partnership and we can’t wait to get to work.”

Daniel Budd, Community Manager at Lit Fibre, comments: “Community is at the heart of Lit Fibre and we are thrilled to begin our partnership with ‘She Can Be Active’ sessions at Stanley Park Sports Ground to help encourage women to have a go. We are looking forward to seeing this partnership grow and sharing the exciting things we have in store.”
