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 have 3 trustees: Chairwoman, Sally Archibald, Tom Eccles and Thomas Fairhurst. The charity is run by these 3 founding trustees and they are all deeply involved in the world of squash. They are real people who care for squash and the progression of women and young girls within the sport, aiming to move things forward.
