About WSFF

The Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation (WSFF) is the UK charity that campaigns to make physical activity an everyday part of life for women and girls. Our aim is to create a nation of active women.

To make being active more attractive for women and girls we do three things:

Help - we help sport and fitness organisations understand what women want.
Inspire - we inspire women to take part.
Persuade - we campaign to persuade policy makers that having more active women will benefit all of us.
