Company activities and impact

The activities of WiSEAN have provided significant benefit to the academic, practitioner and wider sport and exercise community during the financial year by advancing knowledge, supporting professional development and promoting equity in sport. The organisation delivered its annual conference in 2025, bringing together approximately 150 delegates from the UK and internationally. The conference provided an inclusive platform for knowledge exchange on key issues including equity, diversity and inclusion, women’s health and marginalised groups in sport. It also supported early career researchers through funded diversity scholarships, enabling participation from individuals underrepresented in higher education and research. Conference outputs, including peer-reviewed abstracts, contribute to the wider evidence base in women’s sport and exercise. WiSEAN continued to operate a mentoring scheme connecting experienced researchers with individuals seeking to develop their skills and careers. The scheme was expanded internationally, including the introduction of an Australasia strand, increasing accessibility and global reach. This has supported capacity building, knowledge sharing and career progression within the community. The organisation produced a series of freely accessible podcasts and blogs, disseminating research and lived experiences on topics such as women’s health, participation and inclusion in sport. These resources make academic knowledge more accessible to a broader audience, including practitioners, students and the public. WiSEAN also facilitated ongoing networking through its membership platform and listserv, which grew to approximately 570 members. This has enabled collaboration, sharing of opportunities and dissemination of research, contributing to a more connected and informed community. All activities are delivered by a volunteer-led team, ensuring that resources are directed towards community benefit. Overall, WiSEAN’s work has supported education, inclusion and the advancement of knowledge in women’s sport and exercise, benefiting both the academic community and wider society.

Consultation with stakeholders

WiSEAN engages with its stakeholders through both formal and informal feedback mechanisms to ensure its activities meet community needs. Formal consultation is undertaken through the mentoring scheme, where mentees have been invited to complete a voluntary online survey to provide feedback on their experiences. This feedback is used to review and improve the structure, accessibility and effectiveness of the scheme. Feedback is also gathered from attendees at the annual conference, providing insights into the quality, relevance and inclusivity of the event, as well as suggestions for future development. In addition, informal consultation takes place through ongoing engagement on social media platforms and network communications. Responses to blog posts, podcast, and other outputs enable stakeholders to share views, experiences and suggestions in a more open and continuous way. These combined approaches ensure that stakeholder perspectives inform the organisation’s ongoing development and delivery of activities.
