Sport can transform lives, giving girls and women resilience, courage, self-belief and a sense of belonging.

That’s why at Women in Sport, our vision is that no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport.

Our purpose is to create lasting positive change for women and girls in sport and society.
