Sports Hubs & Club Development

Community Sports Hubs
Our Community Sports Hubs bring together local sports clubs, community groups and partners to create more opportunities for people to be active. Each hub is community‑led, welcoming and designed to make sport accessible, safe and enjoyable for everyone

How We Work
We support communities by:

• Understanding local needs
• Encouraging clubs and organisations to work together
• Helping deliver projects and activities that make a real difference

Across East Ayrshire, we work closely with clubs, volunteers and partners to build strong, inclusive and active sporting communities.

Our Core Principles
All Community Sports Hubs are built on three key pillars:

• Meeting community needs
• Working collaboratively
• Empowering local leaders and volunteers

Each hub develops its own vision and action plan to strengthen local sport and increase opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to get active.

Club Development
At Ayrshire360, we are committed to supporting and enhancing grassroots sport across East Ayrshire. We work with local clubs to encourage sustainable growth, strong governance and long‑term development.

In partnership with East Ayrshire Sports Council, Community Sports Hubs, Active Schools, sportscotland, national governing bodies and a wide range of third‑sector organisations, our Club Development team can support clubs in the following areas:

• Vision & Development Planning
• Governance & Management
• Financial Management & Funding
• Safeguarding
• Capacity Building
• Partnerships & Networking
• Facility Development
• Support with Sporting Projects, Events & Initiatives

Clubs can complete our online Club Health Check questionnaire and our team will get in touch to offer guidance based on your results.
