Girls in Sport UK and Sierra Leone

Who we are

We beleive that girls are empowered through social change at the grassroots.  In sport, we provide equality of access to female coaches, and trained safeguarding leads who work to create safe and protected settings for our beneficiaries. 

We are advocating for gender equity as a human right, through the impactful influence of sport and access to education through our Sponsor a Champion initiative. 

In closing the gap in gender, we beleive that this will lead to reduced risks such as gender based violence, teenage pregnancy, FGM, and trafficking in communities affected by poverty and confict. 

Our culture and values

We value our staff, volunteers and supporters.  We re guided by the principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence and are committed to transparency and accountability at every level of our programming. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion accross all our organisational frameworks, recruitment, and programming, at Secretariat and in-country programmes.
