Scottish Women in Sport is a charity (SCO44496) with a vision for a world where women and girls have equal and fair opportunities in sport. Our role is one of campaigning and advocacy and we have three main areas that we focus on.

We deliver an annual conference looking at the issues that face women and girls in sport and engage with experts to impart their wisdom and knowledge. We also celebrate women and girls in sport through our Annual Awards Dinner, held in Glasgow in November. We celebrate a variety of categories ranging from sportswoman of the year to pioneer in sport, to volunteer in sport.

Another strand to our work is our Young Women in Sports Leadership mentoring programme in partnership with SAMH (The Scottish Action for Mental Health). Understanding the barriers that still face women in gaining leadership roles in various areas of sport, this programme will help to strengthen the mental health of our participant and equip both mentees and mentors with a skill set, to help them navigate the sometimes difficult process of becoming a leader in sport.

We see our purpose as increasing the profile of all women in sport and the various opportunities available to them .Raising awareness of issues facing women in sport and supporting women, clubs and governing bodies through our events.

Our Mission is to advocate for change, elevate voices and enable growth
