The Muslim Women’s Sports Foundation (MWSF) works to increase the participation of Muslim women and girls in sport and physical activity in the UK.

It runs campaigns, research and consultancy with sports bodies and community groups on making sport more inclusive.

More about Muslim Women’s Sports Foundation

This organisation is part of the Halal Wellness directory, a free guide to halal and Muslim-friendly health, fitness and lifestyle services. We list businesses that people actively search for, and we check key details such as location, website and halal status. However, details can change. So if you run this organisation, please claim this listing to add photos, opening hours, prices and contact details. As a result, more people can find and trust your business.

Why Muslim women’s sport matters

Muslim women are under-represented in sport, often because of clothing, privacy or a lack of role models. Organisations like this one work to change that. In addition, regular activity improves health, confidence and friendships.

Look for women-only sessions or clubs near you.
Ask about modest kit options and prayer times during events.
Start with a sport you enjoy, so you are more likely to keep going.
Bring a friend, because it makes the first session easier.

How Muslim Women’s Sports Foundation helps

This organisation supports Muslim women and girls to take part in sport. For example, it runs sessions, teams and events, and it speaks up for inclusive policies. So it is a useful first contact if you want to get active.

Also, sport does not need to be competitive. Walking groups, swimming sessions and casual games all count.
