New hub aims to boost opportunities for women and girls in sport across Moray
Women and girls, sports clubs, volunteers, coaches, community groups and anyone interested in helping to make sport and physical activity more inclusive are being invited to the launch of Moray's new Women and Girls in Sport Hub.
The launch event will take place at the Gleaner Arena, Elgin on Wednesday 25 November, from 7pm to 8.30pm, and will bring together people from across Moray who are passionate about increasing participation, breaking down barriers and creating more opportunities for women and girls to get involved in sport and physical activity.
Attendees are asked to register their interest and find out more here.
The new hub will provide a space for clubs, organisations and individuals to share ideas, build partnerships and support initiatives that encourage more women and girls to take part, stay involved and thrive in sport. This also includes physical activity such as dance, yoga and pilates, strength and conditioning or circuit classes.
Anyone with an interest is welcome to attend, whether they are already involved in sport or simply want to find out more about how they can help make a difference.
Recent figures highlight why this work is important. The latest Active Schools Moray report shows that girls accounted for 43% of participants in Active Schools activities during 2025/26, a slight increase on the year before.
Chair of Moray Council’s Education, Children’s and Leisure Services Committee, Cllr Kathleen Robertson, said: “Sport can have a positive impact on physical health, mental wellbeing, confidence and social connections. However, women and girls can face barriers to taking part and staying involved.
“This new hub is an opportunity for clubs, volunteers, coaches, parents, partners and community groups to come together and help create a sporting environment where every woman and girl feels welcome, supported and able to achieve their potential.
“Whether you're already involved in sport or would simply like to learn more, we'd encourage you to come along and be part of the conversation.”
