The charity are calling for Regional Champions, as well as supporters and members to help spread the message.

They’re looking for Regional Champions to help them represent women throughout Scotland – not just the central belt. Champions will receive SWIM merchandise once signed up, as well as support on how to promote the charity further and build networks in their areas.

If you’re interested in becoming a Regional Champion for SWIM, you can get in contact with the charity directly via their website to register your interest.

If you’re living in Scotland, identify as female, and create music or work in the music industry then you can also become involved in SWIM by joining as a member, for just £5 a year. Those who don’t meet the membership criteria can still get involved with SWIM as a supporter.

For more details and information on how you can become a Regional Champion, and other ways to get involved, visit the SWIM website.
