Firhill Youth Project and Community Sports Hub is set up to provide a range of accessible, affordable and sustainable opportunities for local young people to participate, coach or volunteer in rowing, kayaking and other physical activity. We do this by offering a range of sessions free of charge to both a core group of regular participants and by working with partner organisations to deliver individual sessions or short term projects tailored to their needs. The project runs April - October due to the outdoor nature of our activities and during this time we employ a lead coach, in addition to part time sessional coaches who run the activities. The operational staff are supported by a volunteer board of trustees who oversee the strategic and governance of the charity.

Objectives: 1. The promotion of a range of accessible, affordable, and sustainable opportunities for local young people (and on occasion the wider community) to participate, coach, or volunteer in watersports, and other sport, physical activity, and educational related opportunities at the Firhill Basin in North Glasgow. 2. The promotion of sport, physical activity, and educational related opportunities which aid in the development of key life skills, including confidence, resilience, and communication. 3. Working in partnership with other local clubs and organisations to develop and facilitate further affordable and community driven activity via the Community Sports Hub initiative. 4. Supporting member clubs to become more sustainable to increase membership and capacity. 5. Supporting existing hub volunteers and promoting opportunities for new hub volunteers and coaches to become directly involved in the delivery of sport and physical activity in their local community. 6. Fostering, in all matters connected with sport and physical activity, links between Firhill Youth Project and Community Sports Hub SCIO, and any other recognised body expressing a similar interest in developing sport, physical activity, and educational related opportunities in North Glasgow e.g., voluntary organisations and community groups. 7. Promoting all activities that support and progress the above-mentioned objectives.
