SPFL Trust Community Hubs
Using football to provide support in communities
SPFL Trust Community Hubs powered by SGN are being opened at ten different football stadiums across the country, offering vital support in a safe and welcoming environment.
They provide a safe space for people to seek help, find hope and connect with essential support services.
Inspired by the successful model of the Pittodrie Community Hub in Aberdeen, which launched with the support of our Winter Support Fund in 2022, the new hubs will replicate this impactful work across Scotland.
We are working closely with each participating community trust to create spaces that reflect the unique needs of their communities.
The hubs will offer more than just a welcoming environment. Each hub will provide hot food and a relaxed atmosphere, where people can access expert advice and support from a range of partner organisations.
These partners will deliver targeted assistance to help with a variety of challenges, from housing and finances – including energy costs – to mental health, physical health, benefits, and overall wellbeing.

Please be aware that the type of support available at each SPFL Trust Community Hub will depend on local needs, so may vary.
Game Energy is delivered by SGN as key strand of support available to people attending one of our SPFL Trust Community Hubs.
Aimed at people who may be experiencing fuel poverty, there will be vital information and resources related to energy efficiency, Carbon Monoxide safety and access to the Priority Service Register (PSR).
The PSR provides extra support and safeguarding to potentially vulnerable people to ensure uninterrupted service from utility companies, and specialist support in the event of issues.
In addition to our ten SPFL Trust Community Hubs, a further 20 community trusts will be providing this element of support.
