Nicola Sturgeon has unveiled SNP plans to double funding in sports and active living to ensure everyone in Scotland can benefit from sport and physical activity.
If re-elected, the SNP will:
Invest £60m in renovating every play park - across the country.
Increase investment in sport and active living to £100m - by the end of the parliament. Create a ‘Fan Bank’ - to empower communities and groups who do not have access to capital to acquire a share or control of their local sports club.
Give free bikes to all children of school age who can't afford them - and make loans and grants available for the purchase and repair of pedal cycles for everyone else.
Deliver a new national activity plan - to break down barriers, financial or otherwise, which prevent some people from leading more active lives.
Undertake a review of investment in sport - to ensure it benefits men and women equally, potentially posting funding for women’s sport.
