What is the Big Sister Project?

Places Leisure have an initiative called 'Big Sister' that aims to get more girls active and reintroduce them to sports.

The program is held at Tolworth Recreation Centre and Malden Centre, and helps girls aged 9-15 in target areas feel ‘sport ready’ by recruiting a network of ‘big sisters’ to empower and enable girls to enjoy sport, exercise, and physical activity during puberty. 

  • Unlimited gym use during Junior Gym hours, which includes a gym induction (11-15 year olds)

  • Unlimited swimming

  • Age appropriate group workout classes including exclusive We Move classes

  • Friendly on-site team, to support you through your activity

  • Free access to Places Leisure App and Virtual Studio which includes a Big Sister channel
