New campaign aims to get more women active outdoors

Our This Girl Can team have launched a new campaign, Let’s Get Out There, which seeks to inspire more women to enjoy the many benefits of being active outdoors.

Research by CPRE, the countryside charity, shows that women, in particular those from culturally diverse backgrounds, face greater barriers to accessing and enjoying outdoor spaces – whether it’s a lack of access or awareness, or not knowing what to expect.

But the many physical and mental health benefits to be gained from spending time in green and blue spaces – from urban parks and canals, to coastal paths and forests – are well documented.

So, with the support of Forestry England, Canal & River Trust and Ordnance Survey, we’ve developed new resources to help promote these benefits.

We're also grateful to have the guidance of the The Countryside Code, which is designed to help you enjoy the outdoors safely.
