Women from ethnically diverse communities can experience unique barriers to participation in sport and physical activity. To better understand these experiences, Dr Katie Garstang, one of our Centre-UB Fellows worked with Prof Jet Veldhuijzen van Zanten and Dr Sarah Williams, in partnership with the Warwickshire Cricket Foundation and women from communities across Birmingham to explore the factors that influence engagement in community sport and physical activity programmes, as part of her Widening the Wicket: Tackling Barriers and Supporting Cricket Participation for Women of Ethnic Minorities – Centre-UB fellowship.
