What are our objectives?
Our charitable objectives are what we are formally about.
Our objectives are the advancement of the amateur sport of squash among women and girls for the public benefit by creating opportunities for women and girls to engage in squash, running community inclusive events, supporting female coaches and leaders, delivering participation initiatives and providing structured support for clubs to increase female membership.
Our four pillars form the foundation of Girls in Motion – without them, this exciting journey wouldn’t be possible!
Participation
Providing a space to play – designing and facilitating events for women and girls to enter the sport.
Retention
Providing a reason to play – initiating change in the sport, aligned to women's and girls' preferences.
Competition
Providing a space to grow – redefining competitive squash for women.
Leadership
Nurturing female leaders – female-led coaching, sponsorship and mentorship.
Our story
Founded in 2023 by Tom and Sally, whose daughters actively play squash, and Thomas, a Level 3 coach, Girls in Motion began with a focus on junior events and has expanded to include women of all ages and abilities. Through our four pillars and innovative initiatives, we’re building a community with a strong network of volunteers, coaches and clubs.
Girls in Motion is run by volunteer trustees: Chair Sally Archibald, Tom Eccles, Steph Campos and Natalie Davenport-Husdan. They are all deeply involved in the world of squash – real people who care about squash and the progression of women and young girls within the sport, aiming to move things forward.
