Give to Gain

This year’s International Women’s Day theme, Give to Gain, highlights the simple truth that better performance comes from meaningful investment. Yet women’s sport has too often been expected to deliver elite results with fewer resources and less support.

When we invest properly in women’s sport, the returns are real - stronger performance, longer careers and more sustainable success. In this International Women’s Day panel, elite athletes, sports leaders and medical experts share first-hand insight into why giving more is essential to gaining better performance.

Meet the panelists:

  • Elaine Birch: Communications and Content Manager, AccountsIQ
  • Ruth May: 2022 British Taekwondo Champion and Account Executive, ExpenseIn
  • Lizzie Hanlon: Prop, Harlequins and England International
  • Sarah Prior: Physiotherapist, Harlequins
  • Hollie Elliott: Team Ireland Triathlete
  • Eleanor Condon: Women in Sport Lead, EDI Lead & National Anti-Doping Officer, Triathlon Ireland
