United celebrate International Women’s Day
There’s also a trio of events being hosted by the Foundation, including…
Wednesday 8 March, Great Academy Ashton High School, 8:00-16:00 GMT
The event is part of the FA Let Girls Play initiative which targets girls and encourages them to get involved, or try, football. Last year, this Foundation partner school engaged a very high number of female participants so will be looking to do that again this year along with other local high schools and primaries.
Wednesday 8 March, Old Trafford, 10:00-14:30 GMT
At the Theatre of Dreams, Foundation partner primary and secondary schools will be taking part in a networking event with female staff and professionals, sharing experiences of current roles and pathways in employment.
Friday 10 March, The Cliff, 9:30-14:30 GMT
The end of the week will see the Foundation host disability tournaments aiming to break down barriers and see both disabled and non-disabled students participate together, and encourage female participation.
