TIMELINE

The growth of Her Game Too

MAY 2021
THE LAUNCH

On the 15th May 2021, we launched our Her Game Too campaign. We decided to post the video at 10am on the day of the FA Cup final and the response was incredible. Our video was viewed over 1 million times within the first 24 hours and we hit 6,000 followers on our brand new Twitter page within the first day. We were so pleased to see so many people listening to our important message and getting on board our campaign so quickly.

MAY 2021
HOPE & GLORY PARTNERSHIP

On 25th May 2021 - we started working with the brilliant Hope & Glory sportswear who offered to design us a logo to represent our messaging. They came up with the concept of a football incorporated into the female gender symbol within a crowned shield - we instantly loved it and have used this going forwards. We then released official Her Game Too merchandise with Hope & Glory - with all profits going back into our organisation to support grassroots girls football.
