Scottish Women in Sport

  • Membership number 4960
  • Charity registered in Scotland SC044496

The organisation's charitable purposes are:A) Balancing the gender inequality in all areas of women in sport in Scotland.B) Increasing the profile of women's sport.C) Raising awareness of issues affecting women in sport.D) Supporting women in sport and their governing bodies.We seek a more positive and equitable environment for females so they can benefit from the psychological, physiological and sociological advantages of sports participation which in turn leads to improved health and well-being, life prospects and societal impact. We also intend to have a further reaching impact into creating equity generally for women and all members of society through our lens of girl’s and women’s sport and activity. Our vision is for a Scotland where females of all ages, abilities, cultures and walks of life are participating in sport or physical activity; within a positive, equitable culture where their achievements are recognised, rewarded, celebrated and promoted.
