Apply for a £150 grant this Women's Squash Week

To help clubs and coaches get involved with Women’s Squash Week, we're offering free grants and social media advertising for activities that introduce new female players to the game.

Women's Squash Week returns this September (14th – 20th), and it's a great opportunity to welcome more women into clubs, grow participation and showcase everything squash has to offer.

As part of the grant, clubs can deliver a Squash 101 Women’s course, with flexibility to run courses between four and six weeks in length, or a one-off women’s taster session. All funded courses must begin in September 2026 and focus specifically on engaging women who are new to the game.

The initiative aims to attract more women to the sport, providing clubs and coaches with financial support to deliver tailored sessions and courses designed to introduce more women to squash in welcoming and supportive environments.
