Women and Informal Sport: New Research

The Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation and sports coach UK have undertaken research on women in informal sporting settings. From the research findings we have produced resources to support governing bodies of sport and other partners develop informal sporting environments for women.

The resources are:

1. Five fact sheets providing hints and tips on developing informal sporting environments. Available to download here.

2. A video for women currently participating in informal sport tell us what it is about the setting that keeps them coming back

3. A report on informal sporting environments for women. Available to download here.

 

Fit 4 Women 2012 - A BIG Thank You

The Women's Sport & Fitness Foundation came together with the 70% proof team; Sporting Equals, English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) and StreetGames to deliver the Fit 4 Women events.

Our aim for the day was to further explore how to attract and retain women including women that are particularly under represented in sport/physical activity and pass on the research gained to a vast delivery network throughout England.

Our aim for the event was to engage the delegates in projects that are increasing participation and provide a platform to present new knowledge and disseminate best practice, practical tools and tips. We asked you to share your experiences and be inspired to deliver engaging and inclusive programmes... 

Both events were a huge success and we wanted to thank all of those who attended and contributed to such an inspiring day with some brilliant guest speakers.

As promised, we have collated the presentations from the events in manchester and London and they are available to download.
