Thank you so much, this means a lot. It’s not @makespaceforgirls.bsky.social who lead this, it’s me Abigail ‘Make Space York’ - Initially inspired by the ideas of MSFG. This project is York’s and the girls have steered it.

Perhaps. But I would say that we have no MUGA in the park. We do have a basket swing (in the area girls co created). Therefore I’m not sure what we do or don’t have influences areas. They were asked to think about parks generally as girls from all over York came to get involved in this.

Thank you! I totally agree that the simple additions have had a huge impact (to adults too, who I love seeing enjoying the basket swing in day times!)

The area is well used and the girls talk proudly of what they are helping create.

Totally agree we have some lovely skaters who help others.

We’ve been engaging with local girls since 2022 with surveys, focus groups, workshops and drop in stalls. Lots of data and used this to co create a space and a festival of events. Forgot my personal Bluesky password! (Abigail).
