• increased number of young people engaging in volunteering in the community
• support for employers and deployers of volunteers in the recruitment, retention, deployment and recognition of volunteers in sport
• increased number of qualified and active coaches, linked directly to partners’ needs including school and community sport and sports specific development
• increased number of coaches progressing through qualifications and staying within the coaching profession
• increased profile/recognition for volunteers and coaches and their role within the regional area
• increased number and quality of tutors delivering within Scottish sport.
