Community sport can be a home from home for girls as well as boys. With the right opportunities, role models and experiences a girl can build a lifelong love of sport.

Understanding the experiences that women and girls have in sport sits at the heart of our charity’s aims and we are delighted to see British Gymnastics sharing this view.
Chief Executive of Women in Sport, Ruth Holdaway, is leaving the charity to take up the role of Chief Executive of Tennis Victoria in Australia.
Did you know that there's a staggering 22% gender gap in team sports?
Women in Sport undertook a research project to support this need and investigate what influences girls aged 11 to 13 years to keep taking part in gymnastics.

Women in Sport is a charity, and it is because of the generous support we receive from funders and donors that we are able to carry out our work.
Currently, there is no public record of how much public money is being spent on girls’ and women’s sport and leisure, versus men’s and boys.
Sport, and particularly team sport can give women and girls community for life. Where else can you experience the camaraderie, joint endeavour and combined work ethic that team sport brings?
