Your Set Project
Your Set helps young disadvantaged women to have a healthy lifestyle.
“Your Set” is a not-for--profit humanitarian project developed for the Beauty with a Purpose program supported by Miss World Australia. The aim for this project is to keep young women from remote and disadvantaged communities in Western Australia participating in sport by providing exercise clothing that makes them feel comfortable in while working out. “Your Set” aims to support young women and teenagers who want to live active, fashionable lifestyles but have limited access to basic supplies such as exercise clothing.

Mission Statement
To help disadvantaged young women with their heath and fitness in a sustainable way. Eventually running free group fitness classes.
Reason
A lack of appropriate sports clothing has lead to a significant reduction in exercise in young girls who are socially disadvantaged. Your Set aims to provide recycled, coordinated exercise clothing to encourage participation in exercise and promote lifelong health while reducing textile waste.
Background
As part of my Miss World Beauty with a Purpose initiative, I am initiating a project to support teenage girls in sport through my sustainable fashion platform, upcycling and turning unwanted second-hand exercise clothing into matching sets for those who need them. Recent studies have shown that “the peak age for girls dropping out of sport is 15 years old,” due mainly to three factors “perceived lack of role models, body confidence and a conflict with time for study” (BBC, 2022). My aim is for young Australian women to feel confident in their exercise clothing, and not have to spend their own money on expensive items, since one of the major reason teenage girls give up sport is body confidence issues (Sabiston et al, 2019; Slater and Tiggeman, 2010).
About Me
I recently graduated from WAAPA with a Bachelor of Performing Arts (costume) and am currently studying a Master of Strategic Communication at UWA. I am also currently working studying a Cert III and VI in Fitness, with a keen passion to inspire young women to stay in sport during their teenage and young adult years
