What is a Community Sports Hub (CSH)?
Community Sports Hubs are a key part of sportscotland’s contribution to Legacy 2014.
How does a CSH work?
CSH’s will vary from area to area as they are based on the needs and aspirations of the community. Each hub must become sustainable and as a result the majority of hubs have set up steering groups to provide strategic direction and ensure the aims of the hub are met.
Each Hub will be unique but the common thread is that each hub works to the following five principles:
• Growth in participation
• Understanding community needs
• Supporting community leadership
• Offering a range of sports
• Bring all appropriate (key) partners/ groups/people together
• What impact will a Community Sports Hub have?
There will be a variety of community sport hub models established which are based on specific local needs. They may deliver:
• Clear and genuine community engagement and leadership
• Better organised and connected local clubs and community hubs
• An increase in the number of local people participating in sport and physical
activity
• Increased capacity of local sports clubs and increased number of
opportunities available to local communities
• Increased number and quality of deliverers
• Increased dialogue between local partners
