EMPOWERING women to build resilience, confidence and community through the fusion of art and sport
We create inclusive spaces where creativity meets physical strength, storytelling meets teamwork, and self-expression becomes a tool for personal growth.
Our vision is a world where every woman and girl sees herself as strong, creative, and capable — on the canvas, on the field, and in life.
What do we offer?
Our mission is to help women and girls develop resilience, confidence, and creativity by combining the transformative power of the arts with the discipline and empowerment of sport. Through workshops, community projects, exhibitions, and outreach, we amplify underrepresented voices and foster belonging, growth, and wellbeing.
Resilience
We use creative and physical practice to help participants discover inner strength, overcome challenges, and express their identity with pride.
Legacy
Through storytelling, digital content, and ongoing partnerships, we leave a lasting impact that extends beyond a single project or event.
Collaboration
By working with artists, athletes, educators, and local partners, we create impactful, community-led programmes rooted in shared values.
Empowerment
Our work supports women and girls to explore their potential, build confidence, and develop skills they can carry into all areas of life.
Inclusion
We focus on neurodiverse, marginalised, and underserved communities to ensure everyone has access to the tools and spaces to thrive
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Fortitude Arts - a new non-profit initiative co-founded by Agnieszka Lokaj and Wendy Southern, built from our shared passion for creativity, resilience, and community impact.
