NIKE x Spotify launch the Make Moves Fund! 🎉
Nike and Spotify are proud to introduce the Make Moves Fund—a groundbreaking initiative aimed at empowering inactive girls through the power of music.
In England, a staggering 80% of girls feel excluded from sports, leading to alarming rates of poor mental health among young women compared to their male counterparts.
Recognizing the transformative impact of music and movement on mental wellbeing, we're pioneering a fresh approach to sports, one that resonates with girls on their terms.
The Make Moves Fund will offer ÂŁ20k grants to community organisations in the UK. These grants will support pioneering programmes that prioritise girls, blending the power of music and movement.
To kickstart this initiative, Nike and Spotify teamed up with FLO, A London-based girl group whose music empowers girls to express themselves.
“With dance, you can leave everything else behind and just be confident”- FLO
They also enlisted a team of esteemed experts, including inspiring teen girls from our Girlhood community, nominated by BGF, Nike dancer Joelle D’Fontaine and mental wellbeing advocate Ciara Dockery from Gurls Talk.
BGF are thrilled to have nominated and supported four exceptional young girls, aged 13-16, to join the judging panel for this fund. It was an extraordinary opportunity for these girls to learn, collaborate, and most importantly, MOVE!
