Raring2go! GO-TO GUIDE 12 raring2go.co.uk We have enjoyed many visits to Whitlenge Gardens with our 4-year-old daughter Elsie. The landscape gardens are beautifully designed to walk around easily and we especially enjoy the mysterious cave that our daughter loves to enter. We have been to all the events at Whitlenge Gardens including their Easter, Halloween and Christmas trails, along with spotting their resident fairies. After our walk around the beautiful gardens we usually enjoy a meal in the tea room that serve delicious hot and cold food along with a range of cakes you can’t resist. This year we attended our first birthday party in the grounds of Whitlenge Gardens in the summer house. This was beautifully decorated and an ideal space to entertain. We must not forget to mention the children’s play area that our daughter loves to visit at the end of our day as we sit and watch her play on the slide and inside the castle and boat. Inside the play area is an animal corner where we have enjoyed watching the animals together. It is a beautiful place to visit with friends and family to catch up and make lasting memories together.

Raring2go! HOLIDAY CAMPS 21

Raring2go! EDUCATION 22 raring2go.co.uk The world awaits the Women's World Cup in Australia & New Zealand this summer, and with good reason too. This tournament above all others acknowledges and celebrates the remarkable growth of women's football in recent years. In total, 32 nations will field teams to compete in this global sporting event. The World Cup is a platform that honours female athletes, amplifying the call for gender equality in all sport. Women’s football continues to break barriers whilst captivating audiences with its skill, passion, and inspiring narratives. Empowering Female Athletes: The Women's World Cup stands as a shining example of the sheer power of inclusivity and empowerment. It showcases the extraordinary sporting talent and resilience of female athletes, and serves as a catalyst for change. It is encouraging the world to challenge traditional gender norms and support women in all aspects of the beautiful game. By celebrating women's football, we celebrate the strength, determination, and dedication of these remarkable athletes. In turn, they inspire and set precedents for future generations. Inspiring the Next Generation: The Women's World Cup has the potential to inspire and ignite the dreams of young girls across the globe. By providing a platform for visibility and recognition, it paves the way for aspiring female footballers and encourages them to pursue their passion. In so doing they will break through any barriers they may face. The Rise of Women's Football The Women's World Cup 20th July - 20th Aug 2023.

Raring2go! EDUCATION 23 Raring2go! The success stories of these athletes inspires young girls to believe in their own abilities, focussing a new generation of talented players and fans. Promoting Gender Equality: Women's football has come a long way, but there is still a long way to go. There’s a lot of work left to do to achieve anything close to true gender equality in the game. The Women's World Cup acts as a crucial vehicle for change where stereotypes will be challenged. It will highlight the need for equal opportunities in all areas of football. By amplifying the voices and achievements of female players, it urges governing bodies, sponsors, and fans to invest in and support women's football at all levels. As we eagerly await the 2023 Women's World Cup, it is vital to recognise the significance of this global event. Beyond the excitement and spectacle, it represents an opportunity to champion women's football and advocate for gender equality in sports. Let us come together to celebrate the extraordinary talent of female athletes. May it inspire the next generation, and drive the momentum towards a more inclusive and equitable future for women's football worldwide.
