Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
- Empower partnered with Lozells School – in the first year of our operation 14 girls were able to come and take part in the coaching program once a week for 2 hours. The girls were introduced to the game of squash and from the onset enjoyed training and learning about the health and benefits of the sport.
- In addition to the core squash coaching, the girls were supported with extra academic needs by their teachers who attended with them and and received focused tutoring related to the valuable life lessons available through participation in sport.
- Empower sponsored an Empower Mini-Series squash tournament which allowed girls from our program the chance to take part in a tournament with children from other clubs/ community squash programs.
- Empower arranged an Exhibition Squash event involving several of the top 10 female players in the world. This event raised valuable funds for the program through ticket sales and related donations, but also allowed the demonstration of world class squash to our program participants to build their confidence and aspiration.
