The Scottish government has revealed its latest Glasgow 2014 legacy project – the Sustainable Sport for Communities fund.

The grant scheme is a £1m Fund established with £500k of Scottish Government 2014 Legacy Funds and £500k from The Robertson Trust. It will aim to support sport-related social enterprises to own and/or manage facilities and deliver services which meet the needs of their communities and are sustainable in the long term.

Social enterprises will also have the opportunity to apply for up to £30,000 of support towards the direct costs of employing a business development officer, or similar post, with the aim of developing the organisation, its services and its financial sustainability through the adoption of a social enterprise model.

• For full details of the fund and how to apply, visit www.therobertsontrust.org.uk. The closing date for application is Wednesday 8 October 2014.
