About Us
Founded in 1984, Women in Sport is the longest-standing charity in its field with a proud history of securing change for women and girls.
Because women and girls belong
We exist to make sure no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport
Helping girls rediscover the joy of sport
-
43 %
of teenage girls fall out of love with sport as teenagers
-
By providing access to free or discounted gym memberships and girls-only sessions, our Big Sister project is changing the game for teenage girls in sport.
Who we are
We have led the field in creating change for teenage girls and challenged the system to better serve women in midlife.
