A reminder that it’s Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week and this year we are encouraging all women and girls to celebrate the many ways they can lead the way in sports. We want every woman and girl in Scotland to feel inspired to get active. To help achieve this, we encourage you and your organisation to shine a light on those leaders who inspire women and girls to take part and get active.

Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week launched today and is running until Sunday 6 October. This year has kicked off with a campaign film of women and girls telling us who inspired them to get active and why they enjoy staying active. The film also features Jasmin Paris MBE who earlier this year became the first women to successfully complete the Barkley marathons.  

The 'Home First' approach in Scotland emphasises the importance of recovering at home once a patients medical treatment is complete. It brings together the different strands of support needed to allow this to happen and help maintain a patient’s independence.
