Scottish Sports Futures use the power of sport and physical activity to engage with young people in Scotland and empower them to be confident, healthy and happy.

We work to combat the effects of living in poverty and buffer against trauma and adversity. Focused in the most challenged communities, we are privileged to work alongside exceptional young people and support them to reach a positive destination.

We do this using our proven and recognised Sport for Change model and its range of person-centred, youth-led programmes that provide positive experiences, inspiring role models, engaging social education, training, and youth volunteering opportunities.

"One of the biggest things SSF has done for me is all the experiences and they've helped me land my dream job. If it wasn't for SSF I wouldn't have been able to be confident enough to kind of step forward to get to that interview."
