Like A Girl

Run by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council

A confidence-building sports programme for Year 9 and Year 10 girls, helping those who don't currently engage in sport to build self-esteem, resilience and positive connections through inclusive sporting experiences.

For Year 9 and Year 10 girls who do not currently participate in sport, Like A Girl is an inclusive programme designed to build confidence, self-esteem and resilience through shared sporting experiences.

Delivered in partnership with Laurelhill Community College, St Patrick's Academy, Breda Academy and Dundonald High School, participants will take part in confidence-building workshops and practical sports sessions including boxing, badminton and Olympic handball.

The programme supports the Good Relations Week theme of Include by encouraging participation, breaking down barriers to involvement and helping young women feel more connected, valued and confident within school and community life.

The programme will culminate in a celebration event bringing together participants from all four schools to recognise achievements, build new connections and celebrate positive participation.
