Sports clubs, community organisations, and local groups are now invited to apply for funding through Midlothian Council's Summer of Sport Grant Scheme. This initiative is part of sportscotland's wider investment aimed at encouraging children and young people, aged 3 to 26, across Midlothian to become and remain active, thereby improving their lives.
The grant scheme is designed to support the creation of safe, welcoming, and inclusive opportunities. These opportunities aim to reduce barriers to participation and foster greater connection with sport and physical activity for more children and young people.
Funding is available in two tiers: Level 1 awards of up to £1,000, and Level 2 awards ranging from £1,000 up to £3,000 per project. Organisations are permitted to submit multiple applications, including those formed as part of different partnerships, provided each application is for a distinct project.
Detailed guidance, application information, and the online application form are accessible via the council's website. All applications must be submitted through the online portal. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday 14 October 2026.
