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.

We have led the field in creating change for teenage girls and challenged the system to better serve women in midlife.

Help us shape the future of coaching

Women in Sport has launched the first national survey of its kind to understand women's experiences of coaching. We are asking all coaches to take part - female and male - working at elite or grassroots, paid or voluntary and whether coaching now or in the past.
