Summary It is sportscotland’s mission to encourage everyone in Scotland to discover and develop their own sporting experience, helping to increase participation and improve performance. For some groups in society, including women and girls, this mission is also a challenge. In response to this sportscotland has produced the following 10 factsheets providing guidance on how women and girls can be encouraged to more actively participate in sport and physical activity at all levels.
