The Golf Trust launches ‘Her Power! Her Play’ to celebrate women and girls with a disability

The Golf Trust wants to increase the number of women and girls with a disability that it engages with
Last month saw The Golf Trust celebrate 13 years of working with hundreds of thousands of people with disability, empowering lives through golf. However, they have noticed that in all that time only 10% of the people The Golf Trust has engaged with are women.
In light of that problematic statistic, next month will see The Golf Trust embark on a five-year project to find out why women with disabilities are less inclined to try recreational sport. The project launches on October 13 with ‘Her Power! Her Play’ at Woburn Golf Club, which will include golf taster sessions, lunch and a panel discussion with women with disabilities sharing their stories and the challenges they have overcome to participate in sport.
Charlotte Menai-Davies, The Golf Trust’s Fundraising & Projects Officer, said: “For 13 years, we’ve seen golf transform lives. But we’ve noticed that far more men than women engage with our programmes. In fact, 90% more. Rather than assume why, we want to listen and that is why we’re hosting Her Power! Her Play. We want as many women and girls with disabilities from the local area to attend and to have their say.”
The event is free to attend for women and girls with any disabilities, including those with mobility issues who will be able to use an all-terrain Paragolfer machine to try golf.
