Vitality joins forces with Sunday Times and the Sportswomen of the Year Awards

Vitality today announces its title sponsorship of The Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year Awards.

The awards will now be known as The Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year Awards in association with Vitality. It is the fourth year Vitality has partnered with the Awards.

The event celebrates female teams and individual athletes and para-athletes, spotlighting their success to inspire budding sportswomen to get involved in sport.

As well as sponsoring the awards, Vitality will also present the Vitality Grassroots Sportswoman of the Year award, which will recognise those women who are making a difference in local communities and clubs.

Neville Koopowitz, CEO of VitalityHealth said: "We firmly believe in the power of sport to inspire people to live healthy lives and have built long-term partnerships with leading athletes, teams and events to help us share this message to make sure more people have access to sport. Our title sponsorship of the Sunday Times Sportswomen of the Year Awards in association with Vitality and the Vitality Grassroots Sportswoman of the Year award represents our continued commitment to increasing participation in sport and helping more people get active.”

“This year we have seen awe-inspiring grit, determination and passion of female athletes from across a multitude of different disciplines on both domestic and international stages, and are delighted to be working once again with The Sunday Times to honour and celebrate the achievements of women from grassroots right through to elite athletes.”
