WOMEN'S SPORT WEEK RETURNS

Annual awareness week returns for a third year to boost profile of women’s sport.


Whether you play, work in, volunteer or watch sport, you can take part and share your inspirational stories to mark Women’s Sport WeekOpen in a new window.

The national awareness campaign – which takes place from 19-25 June – is an opportunity for everyone to show their support for women’s sport and shine a spotlight on the successes and challenges it faces.

Play your part in the annual celebration and help increase the profile of women’s sport by organising your own event or challenge – and then help spread the news online using the hashtag #WSW2017Open in a new window.

Shining The Spotlight

We’re shining the spotlight on women’s sport by showcasing two of the projects we’re funding that use sport to empower women and girls.

Get Set Girls and Warriors Basketball Club are transforming the lives of women and girls across the UK.
