Community Sports Hubs
What is a Community Sport Hub?
Community Sport Hubs (CSH) is a sportscotland 2014 Commonwealth Games Legacy sports development project.
They are a local collective of sports clubs and other community organisations that come together to improve the contribution that sport & physical activity has on a community.
Working together
Leaders from these organisations work together to develop active communities where everyone benefits from sport & physical activity.
The CSH approach is to support and empower local people to improve sport and physical activity in communities across Scotland. It starts with understanding the needs within a community and then collaborating to facilitate and deliver activities and interventions.
Check out this video produced by sportscotland which gives a detailed overview.
Each CSH is unique with its own vision and values that reflect the uniqueness of the community in which it is based, but all hubs are founded on three pillars outlined below.
What is the benefit of being involved with a Community Sport Hub?
The main benefit of being part of a Hub is to contribute to the collective voice of sport in your community. We also find that when clubs get together, ideas and resources are shared. Our community sport hubs team can also support clubs and hub members to:
Our Community Sport Hubs
Our current CSHs are listed below. To become a CSH, we generally require commitment from three different sports clubs in a community to work together towards the three pillars.
Once clubs have met and agreed they wish to proceed, please contact [email protected] and we will assign a Sport Development Officer to help you further.

This Sport for Change Hub focusses on the development of projects linked to mental health and wellbeing. To do this we work in partnership with sports clubs, and local and national mental health promoting organisations.
Currently we work alongside Mind Space to deliver ‘Active Minds’, a mental health programme linking sport and confidence building for children aged 8-12 years.
We have developed an ADHD Awareness training course in partnership with Perth & Kinross ADHD Support, specifically for clubs, coaches and volunteers.
We also support local clubs delivering mental health partnership projects through our Sport for Change grant programme.
In 2026 we are rolling out the Scottish Action for Mental Health programme ‘Ahead of the Game’ mental health awareness training for young people, coaches and parents/carers.
