This Girl Can is a national campaign celebrating women being active no matter how they do it! The campaign celebrates active women who are doing their thing no matter how they look, how well they do it or how sweaty they get. We want to challenge the conventional idea of what exercise looks like and reach out to women of all backgrounds and ethnicities who feel left behind by traditional exercise. In doing so, we’re aiming to inspire more women and girls to wiggle, jiggle, move and prove that judgement, time, money and energy are barriers that can be overcome.

This year the Students' Union UCL This Girl Can Week will run from Monday 5 February - Sunday 11 February 2024.  We will be celebrating women in sport and inspiring all students to try something new or get back into a physical activity through a week of beginner friendly activities.

We want you to feel inspired, to view all This Girl Can activities please see event list below:
