We are here to help
Glasgow Life - Sport have a team of development officers dedicated to helping community organisations.
Our officers will support your club on a range of topics to help you operate more effectively.
We have included some areas to think of below and would encourage you to complete our free health check and we will be in touch.
Here are a few things to consider when starting to engage your local community:
- Does your club reflect the diversity of the local community?
- How does your club welcome new and existing members?
- Do you take your club out to events and community festivals?
- Do you promote your club to schools through Active Schools?
- Do you measure and celebrate the benefits your club is making within the community?
- Do you have a list of local partners inside and outside sport that you have strong links to?
- What are your community priorities?
- Are your community priorities written down and shared with your members?
- Does your club have a nominated person or sub-group that works on connecting with your community?
