Join us for an inspiring afternoon of short films that tell stories of women and girls in sport and adventure. Both entertaining and thought-provoking, the films feature a mix of women from professionals to beginners across a wide range of sports, including running, cycling, speed skating, climbing, kayaking and more.
We are also delighted to be welcoming athletes from the Great Britain Winter Olympic short track speed skating team who will be joining in the discussions around women in sport. Joining us will be Charlotte Gilmartin, Winter Olympic Semi-finalist, Sam Morrison, Relay Team Captain and Coach, Paul Worth.
