Case Study: Engage-HER – Challenging Sport Deliverers in Northern Ireland

Published 30 March 2017

Women exercise significantly less than men in Northern Ireland; 45% of women have participated in sport in the previous 12 months, as opposed to 59% of men.

As a result, we partnered up with Sported Northern Ireland to explore how an effective partnership would help make an impact on the participation levels.

During discussions I can already tell that they have started to think on a deeper level about how to fully engage with women and girls, being open to making changes at the club.

Key findings

Many of the members and all of the mentors were volunteers, which can often be a challenge, however realistic engagement plans and support at key times helped to keep the project moving forward.
The mentors played a crucial role in this project, by providing one-to-one support on the ground
and offering a sounding board for members’ ideas and plans.
