What is a Community Sport Hub?
A Community Sport Hub is a collective of local sports clubs & other community organisations that come together to improve the contribution that sport & physical activity has on a community.
The Community Sport Hub approach is to support and empower local people to improve sport & 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.
Community Sport Hubs can be based in local facilities including pavilions, schools and sports centres and provide a home for local sports organisations.
Each Community Sport Hub is unique and reflects the community where it is based but all hubs are founded on three pillars.
Leisure and Culture Dundee work in partnership with Sportscotland to develop Community Sport Hubs. Check out the great video created by Sportscotland to give you an overview of what a Community Sport Hub is!
