Keeping Women Warm to Sport in Winter by Women in Sport UK

The “Keeping Women Warm to Sport in Winter” toolkit, produced by Women in Sport UK, provides evidence-based guidance for clubs, coaches, and community groups to sustain and grow women’s participation in running and outdoor sport during winter months. Drawing on research into barriers such as safety concerns, cold weather, and lack of supportive environments, the toolkit offers actionable strategies to address these challenges. Its impact includes influencing club programming, raising awareness of gendered safety issues, and sparking national campaigns to make winter sport more accessible and enjoyable for women.
