Gippy Girls Can focus group
A huge thank you to all of our supporters that completed a Have Your Survey last year to tell us how to improve our #GippyGirls Can campaign.
#GippyGirlsCan commenced in early 2018 as a social media movement encouraging the women of Gippsland to get active together through community and sporting club lead physical activity programs. The campaign commenced as a localised amplification of the very successful This Girl Can- Victoria campaign that was implemented by VicHealth in 2017. #Gippy Girls Can emphasise community and provides women of all shapes, sizes, fitness levels and abilities to get active without the fear of judgement together. Over the last two years, we have built a local community of more than 3,000 women who have joined in our programs, events or who engage with us on social media in a range of ways.
Now that we have the survey results we are hoping to run one hour Focus Groups on March 3rd to delve a little deeper into some of the key theme’s and ideas. We know that many of you have said that you would be happy to attend these groups which is awesome. There will be two sessions- one at 10-11am and one 6-7 pm at the Traralgon Stadium meeting room. If you are unable to attend in person, we will be able to provide an online link to join us remotely.
Please RSVP for a focus group session by completing the survey link below:
If you would like any more information or would like to arrange a conversation at another time, please contact Michelle Harris on email michelle@gippsport.com.au
