MOST VALUABLE PARTNERSHIP
AS the awareness of women in sport grows, we continue to recognise the importance of sponsorship and having a relationship with a partner organisation who reflects the values of the sport. This award is not specifically about financial investment, but rather one that complements and works with a sport to actively promote and support women in sport. It could be a commercial partner, media partner, kit supplier or supplier of in-kind support.
