About Scottish Sports Futures

Scottish Sports Futures (SSF) were created over 20 years ago, and have established ourselves as an expert organisation taking a sport for development approach and harnessing the power of youth work and physical activity. Our vision is of a world where all young people have the opportunity to fulfill their potential. We believe in the power of sport to transform lives and we use sport and physical activity to enable young people to be healthier, more confident, resilient and better prepared to combat the effects of poverty, trauma and adversity. We focus our work in some of the most challenged communities and support young people to reach a positive destination and become champions for good within society through our range of trauma-informed, needs-based and person-centred youth work and sport programmes.
