Deadline for sports grant scheme

Community-based sport and physical activity projects in the Western Isles have just over one week to stake their claim for a share of a £1 million scheme aimed at changing lives and creating a more inclusive and healthier nation.

The Changing Lives Through Sport and Physical Activity (CLTSPA) Fund was launched in June in partnership between the Scottish Government, SportScotland, the Robertson Trust and Spirit of 2012, and will support organisations across the country to deliver positive change in communities across the country.

Two-year grants ranging from £30,000 up to £70,000 will be available to partnerships meeting key objectives,

Stewart Harris, chief executive of SportScotland, said:

“The positive power of sport and physical activity can be seen every day in communities across the country thanks to the fantastic work of community sport hubs, clubs and the wider sporting system. It is clear from this work that sport and physical activity is having a significant impact on the lives of those taking part.”

He said the fund is an “important step” on the journey to build a more inclusive and healthier nation.

Applications close on 28 August.
