Founding event.
The launch event of the Words on Women’s Sports Collective will be held on Wednesday 9 September 2026 from 12.30pm to 5pm at Foudys, 293 Deansgate, Manchester M3 4EW.
The ambition is that the Words on Women’s Sports Collective is a democratic and inclusive organisation and that is why discussion will take place on what it should look moving forward.
To attend the event, please sign up to join the Collective where you will also be able to specify whether you wish to attend and can submit any ideas you have or issues you’d like to raise in advance.
At the end of the event we will celebrate the winners of the inaugural Words on Women’s Sports Awards.
