CASE STUDY: WOMENS' EURO 2005

Building on the experience of the Commonwealth Games 2002, Sport England and the FA funded a legacy programme to maximise the sport and wider social benefits of Euro 2005. Managed by dtparticip8, active participation was focal to the programme, addressing areas such as health and well being, social inclusion and equity, all key social issues for women and girls. Maximum use was made of the association with a major sports event featuring successful women; role models portraying achievement and providing inspiration to succeed, often in the face of adversity.
