Out of School Hours Learning / School Sport Co-ordinator Programme

Body Text

The Big Lottery Fund, previously the New Opportunity Fund (NOF) has awarded £2.9 million to sportscotland to invest in extra-curricular sporting activity programmes put forward by participating local authorities.

 

The aim is to increase the number of opportunities available for young people to take part in sport and physical activity outside of normal school hours, helping to set them on the road to an active healthy lifestyle.

 

The programmes provide a range of innovative activities targeted at traditional non-participants to encourage an interest in sport and physical activity.

 

As well as tackling exclusion issues for pupils with behavioural difficulties and those with special educational needs, some local authorities are also addressing rural and transport disadvantages.

 

Some of the projects will give young people the opportunity to train as sports leaders who can then go on to support and mentor younger participants taking part in after school activities.
