A £10m grant scheme has been launched as part of the Scottish government's plans to create a lasting sporting legacy from the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The Legacy 2014 Active Places Fund will make grants of between £10,000 and £100,000 available for projects which promise to upgrade local facilities - such as new bike or skate parks, outdoor adventure facilities, walking routes, or new projects within school estates.

Minister for Commonwealth Games and sport, Shona Robison, said: "The Commonwealth Games will be the biggest multi-sports event Scotland has ever hosted and provides a unique opportunity to create a positive and lasting legacy for Scotland.

"The Legacy 2014 Active Places Fund will help communities across Scotland improve their facilities and will appeal to Scots young and old to get more active. I want as many people as possible to benefit and to be inspired by the Commonwealth Games to adopt healthier, more active lives."

The fund will be managed by sportscotland. For more information and to apply for funding, click here.
