What is Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week?

Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week is a Scottish Government initiative to celebrate inclusion, whilst continuing to promote the visibility and participation of women and girls in sport and physical activity. This seeks to highlight the many physical, mental and social benefits that getting active can bring, and engaging women and girls across Scotland in sport. Wherever you're from, whatever your age or background, finding the activity or sport that's right for you will help boost your physical and mental health as well as helping build friendships. Ahead of the launch of Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week, Scottish International, Leanne Crichton spoke with Active Scotland about how you can get involved with sport and get active in Scotland.
