COMMUNITY SPORTS HUB GRANTS ANNOUNCED!

To support community sports clubs and organisations during the COVID pandemic, and as restrictions start to lift again, a grant was opened to Community Sport Hub members. The grants were available to:

Aid return to sport following COVID guidelines
Keep members active and connected through COVID and winter
Ensure club resilience in face of further lockdowns
Provide initiatives to support mental health and wellbeing of club members/ local community through physical activity

We are delighted to be able to fully or partially fund every application we received to support clubs and community groups in Argyll and Bute Community Sports Hubs.

Projects ranged from…

creating club websites to be able to share information and connect to current and new members easily
starting up and running youth sports again safely
purchasing equipment to open the club up to a youth section
deep cleaning of facilities
training new coaches to allow for more smaller group sizes
providing more equipment and equipment storage so it doesn’t need to be shared, allowing more people to take part and to store equipment safely
portable flood lights
Zoom subscriptions
winter boat building projects to keep members connected and involved in the club

Congratulations to the following clubs who received grants, feel free to contact them if interested in joining.
