Scottish Women & Girls in Sport Week 

For one week during October, Scotland celebrates Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week, an annual campaign dedicated to inspiring women and girls to get involved in sport and physical activity. This week, also, provides opportunities to showcase female sporting role models in the aim of encouraging more women and girls to get involved in sport and enjoy the benefits on their physical and mental health.  

At Edinburgh University Sports Union, we are proud to have so many women in volunteering and leadership positions who dedicate their time to sharing their passion for sport and inspiring others. Last year, we asked some of the women involved in last year’s Edinburgh Award to share their thoughts on being involved in sport. You can find the link to the article here.
