Clubs & Hubs

The Community Sport team believes that sport and physical activity have the capacity to transform lives and that absolutely everyone should have opportunities to try a variety of activities.

Our work is focused around one of Sport Aberdeen’s charitable purposes: improving the conditions of life for people through sport and recreational activities.

The main avenues for this work are through sport clubs and community sport hubs.

Hubs

A Community Sport Hub is a collective of local sports clubs and other community organisations that come together to improve the contribution that sport and physical activity have on a community.

Our approach is to support and empower local people to improve sport and physical activity in communities in Aberdeen. It starts with understanding the needs within a community, then collaborating to facilitate and deliver activities and interventions.
