The Sports Facilities Fund

sportscotland’s Sports Facilities Fund is a funding scheme for the provision or upgrading of facilities.  The fund is divided into two key strands: Community Facilities and Training and Competition Facilities.

Community Facilities

This strand covers the provision or upgrading of all facilities for the general community.  In the main, proposals will be led by local authorities, clubs, trusts or other similar bodies.

Consideration is given to several factors when reviewing applications:

Firstly, applicants will need to demonstrate their proposed development is for the public good and will provide equitable opportunities for increased sports participation by the community at local level.

Secondly, applicants will also need to demonstrate what links they have established, or will establish, with existing sports programmes/initiatives operated by the local authority, national governing body for sport or other associates and partners.
