Minister for Women and Equalities
Grassroots sports are the backbone of Scottish communities, and that is why we are investing a further £8.6 million this year in sports facilities across Scotland.
Through this scheme, almost 100 facilities across Scotland, including in our island and rural communities, have been built or upgraded and with this new funding, we can look forward to many more.
This scheme will increase participation, improve health and help people of all ages to enjoy the benefits of sport.
