WOMEN IN SPORT
London, England
Women and girls are missing out on the lifelong benefits of sport. We want to change this, now, for every woman and girl in the UK. We intend to achieve this by improving women’s access to sport and activity by identifying the triggers for falling out of sport, challenging gender stereotypes and supporting the sports sector to reframe sport and physical activity, making it more relevant to women and girls. We achieve this through our 5 aims; 1. Help to ensure that girls stay engaged with sport and physical activity at the times when they are most at risk of losing interest – through primary school and through the transition to adulthood. 2. Harness the opportunity that menopause offers to encourage women to take physical activity into the next stage of their lives 3. Change the culture of sport so that sexism and discrimination become a thing of the past 4. Diversify and increase income to enable us to do more for women and girls. 5. Constantly improve our governance to ensure we are the most trusted charity in the sector for women, girls and our partners
