**Get Active through sports and outdoor activities, supporting and protecting girls
breasts with Berlei Sports Bras.**

Berlei Active Support is a new fundraising initiative being launched by Berlei, 
the lingerie Brand. The sports bra’s are suitable for most outdoor activities and
sports, providing good support for girls’ breasts.

Last year scientists were urging compulsory sports bras in schools, demonstrating
the importance of girls wearing bras for sports and outdoor activities. A scientist
has said that sports bras should become a standard piece of PE kit, and should be
worn by girls for all games and PE lessons. “Our research demonstrates that the 
correct bra reduces breast movement and associated pain and may reduce the risk 
of long-term sag. Giving girls the right information at an early age can improve
their body image and even encourage greater take-up of sport at school. Mouthguards
are a compulsory part of PE kit for children when playing hockey and rugby and I
want to see sports bras for girls become the same”.

Clubs can register with Berlei Active Support and get preferential prices for their
members, while at the same time raising funds for both the Club and our nominated
local charity. As an example, the Berlei Running Bra normally sells for £32.00. 
The club member would receive 10% discount, buying the bra for £28.80, the club 
would receive £2 as a donation from Berlei, and the Berlei nominated local charity
would receive £1 as a donation. The only restriction is a minimum spend based on
original price of £30. Everybody wins!
