Financial Support
Scottish Cycling and sportscotland work together to support diversity in coaching and leading. Our “Developing a Nation of Cyclists 2.0” strategy identifies demographics which we are targeting for additional support. Those target demographics are Young (14-25), Female, Disability, Rural & SIMD.
More Support
Financial support can also often be sourced from Local Authorities & Local Sports Development Schemes. Many local authorities (councils) and their associated trusts or sports partnerships offer grants or bursaries that help cover costs for coaching courses, particularly for volunteers or those who will coach locally – it’s worth checking your local authority to see if they can support you.
