An Overview of MWSF
Who we are
The MWSF is a volunteer-led charity with the overarching aim to increase the involvement of Muslim women and girls in sport without compromising their religious or cultural values through catering to and raising awareness of their specific needs.
What we do
The MWSF exists to proactively promote diversity and inclusion within sport. We set the standard and drive the agenda for our industry through strategic and practical consultancy, campaigns and insight.
Why we do it

Our Recognition
The MWSF has been recognised with Awards, Commendations and Finalist positions at a number of Awards – they include the following: Mosaic, Muslim News, British Muslim Awards, Beyond Sport, AWAA, Asian Football Awards
