Community Sport Hubs /
Changing Lives through Sport and Physical Activity
Sportscotland, Scottish Government, The Robertson Trust and Spirit of 2012 are working together with local authorities to deliver a programme of support and funding.
We want our clubs and organisations to use sport and physical activity as a driver to achieve positive individual and community change.
Approach
The ‘Changing Lives’ approach uses sport and physical activity to intentionally bring about positive changes for people, which delivers against the six Active Scotland outcomes as well as wider outcomes such as health, education, environment, and transport. We are committed to embedding a ‘Changing Lives’ approach within our Sport for Life aspirations and ultimately Scotland’s sporting system.
