A netball group that has been raising awareness of female health following a member’s cancer diagnosis has been shortlisted for a national award.

Mo Squires, who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2022, set up the Women’s Health and Wellbeing Netball Festival, raising £18,000.

She said the event “started from a bad position and turned into a positive”.

Wiltshire County Netball Association has now been entered into the Community and Sport Recreation Alliance Awards…

The event welcomed hundreds of netball players of all ages to take to court and combined multi-generational netball tournaments with information from health professionals.
