In observance of World Mental Health Day, Spotify and Nike announced the "Make Moves Fund," a collaborative initiative to enhance young girls' mental wellness via music and movement.
Empowering Young Women Through Grants
A recent STEER study highlighted an alarming statistic: by age 18, teenage girls are over twice as likely as boys to face mental health challenges. In response to this gap, Nike and Spotify present the "Make Moves Fund" as a tribute to the therapeutic essence of music, reports Stupid Dope.
The British sensation FLO champions this cause, emphasizing the transformative impact movement has on mental wellness, Hype Beast added.
As part of the campaign, several £20,000 grants are poised to enrich UK community outfits championing young women's empowerment. This financial support aims to bolster the confidence and latent potential of young girls who face mental health issues.
The "Make Moves Fund," in collaboration with Nike and Spotify, resonates profoundly with FLO and their journey, as they understand the challenges these young girls encounter. Through the power of music and dance, they aspire to inspire them to embrace their uniqueness and bask in self-assuredness.
In an unwavering commitment to the cause, Nike and Spotify extend financial lifelines to diverse UK entities. This support will further empower and uplift young women, ensuring they have access to the resources they need.
As part of their efforts, a panel discussion is on the horizon, featuring luminaries from the Black Girl Fest network, including Zai'Ona, Ailiyah, Wafa, Suraiya, the talented Nike dancer Joelle D'Fontaine, and Ciara Dockery of Gurls Talk.
A Commitment to Empowering Girls Through Sports and Play
Nike EMEA's Dan Burrows explains that the core focus of their endeavor is to encourage girls to engage in sports and play. They firmly believe an active and empowered present generation will pave the path for a balanced and confident tomorrow.
Prospective applicants to the "Make Moves Fund" must meet specific criteria. They should be UK-registered charities or community interest firms, and their programs must be implemented within the UK.
An artistic mural adorns Shoreditch's Great Eastern Street to mark the campaign's onset. More than just a visually striking piece, the mural is interactive.
Spectators can scan QR codes embedded within, guiding them on how to apply for financial assistance from the "Make Moves Fund." This user-friendly approach ensures that potential beneficiaries can easily access the necessary information.
