Women’s Health UK has announced a year-long partnership with England Netball, with the mission to enhance the sport’s visibility while also creating meaningful change for women and girls in sport. The collaboration will launch with a live recording of the brand’s leading health and wellness podcast ‘Just as Well’ before the final game in the upcoming Vitality Netball International Series against New Zealand on November 19.
Starring as podcast guests will be England Women’s Rugby World Cup winners and Sale Sharks stars, Amy Cokayne, Holly Aitchison and Morwenna Talling who will be interviewed directly before the final game in the three-match test series, marking the start of a collaborative effort to champion women’s health and participation in sport.
The partnership will combine the expertise of England Netball’s NETBALLHer initiative with the influence and reach of Women’s Health UK to address the barriers preventing women and girls from staying active. It will include joint campaigns and editorial features across print, digital, and live events to elevate the visibility of netball from grassroots to elite level. Members of both organizations will also receive exclusive benefits, including discounted event tickets and membership offers.
The initiative will also spotlight England Netball’s Vitality Roses, the Netball Super League, and wider participation programs across Women’s Health UK platforms. Leaders from both organizations, including Baroness Sue Campbell, Claire Sanderson, and Steve Miles, celebrated the partnership as a milestone in promoting women’s empowerment, visibility, and wellbeing through sport. Women’s Health Editor-in-Chief, Claire Sanderson, said:
Women’s Health is deeply passionate about helping women of all ages lead a happy, healthy and fit lifestyle. That’s why our new partnership with England Netball strikes such a major chord with both our brand and our members who want to lead the charge in getting as many women as possible involved in sport. We’re looking forward to bringing our Just As Well podcast to a Vitality Roses match next month – the perfect setting to help launch this exciting partnership.
