Club Support Programme

Investing in people. Strengthening clubs.

Helping clubs become stronger, safer, more sustainable and inclusive — so more people can participate, progress and achieve in sport.

Applications are now closed. Follow this page for updates as the funded projects develop.

The Club Support Programme (CSP) provides targeted investment into sports clubs and community organisations, creating paid roles in areas such as coaching, development, governance and administration.

Two routes to growing participation

Successful bowls club applications focus on creating one of two types of hub, supported by a Development Officer or Coaching Development Officer.

Women & Girls Hubs

Creating more opportunities for women and girls to get involved in bowls.

Youth Hubs

Creating more opportunities for young people to get involved in bowls.

Bowls clubs across Scotland have secured funding to employ a Development Officer or Coaching Development Officer.

Through their Women & Girls Hubs or Youth Hubs, these roles will help clubs:

  • Grow participation by creating more opportunities to get involved in bowls.
  • Strengthen community links and connect with people from a wider range of backgrounds.
  • Support club development through dedicated paid roles.

As the projects develop, we will share:

  • Information about the successful clubs and their projects.
  • Examples of good practice.
  • Stories from the clubs and people involved.
