Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week 2026, organised by Active Scotland, runs 2-8 November.
Being active looks different for everyone. It’s about finding what works for you, feeling good and enjoying movement in away that fits your life.
This year’s Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week, organised by Active Scotland, is the perfect opportunity to celebrate being active by inspiring and supporting women and girls across Scotland to get involved in sport or physical activity.
Running from 2-8 November, this annual event is all about celebrating being active and enjoying the movement that works for you.
Everyone can get involved. By finding an activity or sport that’s right for you, you’ll boost your physical and mental wellbeing whilst having fun at the same time and building lasting friendships.
