Project 500

Project 500 is a campaign to address the imbalance in the number of male to female coaches, creating a more diverse workforce to drive the growth of female participation in sport.

It has seen over 500 female coaches recruited, developed and deployed across the seven South East counties. Project 500 won't stop there, further plans are being developed to continue building on its success, so make sure you sign up to be at the forefront of female coaching. Benefit from following Berkshire's Super 6, #CoachingChats, mentoring or Buddy Up with other coaches, and discounted training.

We're proud to say that Project 500 was awarded the inaugural Transforming Coaching through Technology award at the UK Coaching Awards in November 2018.
