An additional £2.2 million of National Lottery funding was announced Wednesday 25 March to support community, arts, and sports activity inspired by Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, bringing the excitement of the Games to towns and neighbourhoods across Scotland.
The funding will be delivered through National Lottery Awards for All Scotland, the small grants programme that helps grassroots activity thrive. It will support projects that use sport, arts, and community engagement to get people active, bring communities together, and create local celebrations – ensuring the benefits of Glasgow 2026 are felt widely across the country.
The £2.2 million additional investment announced today is made up of £1 million from The National Lottery Community Fund, £1 million from Sport Scotland and £200,000 from Creative Scotland.
All In is the national call to action for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, which invites communities to celebrate the Games in their own altogether brilliant way.
This summer organisations delivering Glasgow 2026-inspired activities can apply for up to £10,000 of National Lottery funding for projects lasting up to 12 months that will:
- increase access and remove barriers so more people can take part in arts or sports activities
- bring people together and strengthen connections within and across communities
- support health and wellbeing through physical activity and shared community experiences
- celebrate cultural diversity and international connections
- create a lasting legacy that communities can enjoy beyond the Games
National Lottery Awards for All Scotland is delivered through an existing partnership between The National Lottery Community Fund, Creative Scotland, and sportscotland.
Interested organisations can call 0300 123 7110 or email advicescotland@tnlcommunityfund.org.uk to discuss their projects before applying.
