The Clydebank Community Sports Hub project will redevelop an almost derelict site situated within Whitecrook (a community within Clydebank East) into a modern, purpose-built community hub for use by all of the community. This will include the partial refurbishment of an existing building and the transformation of surrounding outdoor spaces to meet the current and future needs of the Whitecrook community.

The project will do much more than offer sporting facilities; it will provide significant regeneration outcomes for Whitecrook using sport as a catalyst, - particularly in relation to health and wellbeing, engaging with and educating young people, addressing unemployment and crime and encouraging community development and volunteering. It also has quality community spaces and services (e.g. allotments, community garden, café) that will be the focal point for driving broader community activity, engagement and benefit.

Community planning is at the heart of the project and extensive community consultation was completed to the develop it, ensuring it would meet the local needs.
