Community sport hubs increase the number of people participating in sport in local communities, improve access to sport and support local sport clubs to work together. They are a key part of sportscotland's contribution to Legacy 2014. The project was piloted in Renfrewshire during 2011/12 and continues to develop and grow as we enter phase two for 2015-18 period. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

The awards have been established to recognise, celebrate and honour the achievements and tireless endeavours undertaken each and every day by ‘ordinary’ people in communities throughout Renfrewshire who are passionate about sport. The sports awards campaign and event allows us here at the Gazette, Barrhead News and Paisley People, to reach out to the hearts and minds of people in our local sporting communities by acknowledging, rewarding and recognising local sporting achievements and celebrate their success.

Young Hub Leaders
Connecting with Young People
Young Hub Leaders is a fresh approach to ensuring that every community sport hub has the views and opinions of young people at the heart of the decision-making process.
By consulting with other young people at the hub, by joining the committee and by leading on specific roles within the hub, YHLs can help shape the future of hubs and of sport in our local communities.
The YHL programme has been developed for sportscotland by the Young people's sport panel.
This toolkit is available to help YHLs in their role and includes lots of helpful tips and advice. Download it now and get young people at the heart of your community sport hub!
Sport has such a positive impact on people’s lives so Renfrewshire's Young Hub Leaders have put together a consultation on community sport and hubs. We want to make hubs for all and have a better understanding on what more can be done to use sport to help improve many more lives.
The closing date for this is Friday 20th November 2015. A prize draw will be made following this and one lucky winner will win a three month unlimited pass to Renfrewshire Leisure for access to swimming, gym and fitness classes (non transferable).
