Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week: Monday 30 September – Sunday 6 October 2024

This year's Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week campaign, supported by SportScotland, Scottish governing bodies, Active Schools, Leisure & Culture Dundee and key partners, celebrates the remarkable contributions of women and girls in Scotland who lead the way and inspire others to engage in exercise and physical activity.

Active Schools Dundee is dedicated to providing opportunities that highlight the diverse ways women and girls can encourage others to embark on their own fitness journeys. We remain committed to promoting the visibility and participation of women and girls in sport and physical activity.

Follow the Dundee Active Schools social media platforms this week using the hashtag #SheCanSheWill and #LetsMoveTogether to read insightful interviews with some of the most celebrated figures in sport, including Pauline Stott, Eilish McColgan, and Catherine Stokes. We will also feature inspiring sports leaders and pupils who share their enthusiasm for sports and educate others on the numerous benefits of being active.

In the words of Eilish McColgan: “Take the opportunity with both hands and run with it. There are so many brilliant roles in sport, so do some research to discover the opportunities available and what excites you the most! Reach out to those who inspire you and seek their advice.”

Let us come together to empower and celebrate the incredible women and girls in sport during this week and beyond!
