Fundraise for us

Join #TeamWomenInSport TODAY!

We are always looking for people to volunteer and support our mission. There are lots of different ways that you can support us so that we can continue our work to ensure no-one is excluded from the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport and physical activity.

We have been campaigning for the rights of women and girls in sport since 1984. As the longest standing charity in this field, and a history of securing change for women and girls, we are passionate about addressing the stubborn gender inequalities that still exist.

We believe it is wrong to deny women and girls access to sport, and we need your help to continue tackling this and empowering women and girls through sport.
