There's More Than One Way to Be a Game Changer


The prestigious Women’s Sports Trust #BeAGameChanger awards takes place in London on the 12th of May.

Now in its second year and supported by Microsoft, the awards showcase women’s sport by highlighting success stories, raising the profile of role models, increasing media coverage and connecting decision makers with one another.

Members of the general public and those in the sports industry put forward a record number of nominations resulting in an impressive shortlist which was chosen by an expert panel. The public vote opens on the April 18 – May 1, so you can have your say on the winners too!
