The Youth Scotland Rural Activate Fund is a small grant fund supported by sportscotland 2026 Summer of Sport. This fund was created to allow young people in Youth Scotland’s rural member groups to have increased access to safe, fun, inclusive, sport and physical activity opportunities and to be supported on to pathways beyond their youth group.
Funds can be used for activities which create safe, fun and inclusive opportunities for young people to participate in sport and physical activities within their youth groups and to build links with local sports clubs, community sports hubs and other sport and physical activity providers. Youth Scotland will work with successful groups to map local provision, make connections with their local Community Sports Hub Officer and support young people to access progression pathways. Activities can start in late Summer 2026 and continue through to end March 2027.
