To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what funding is available to communities across the UK under the Pitching In programme; which body administers that funding in Scotland; and under what criteria is it allocated.
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what funding is available to communities across the UK under the Pitching In programme; which body administers that funding in Scotland; and under what criteria is it allocated.
The Government is committed to delivering new and upgraded grassroots sport facilities that promote health, wellbeing and community cohesion.
Our investment into grassroots sports facilities in Scotland is made via the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities (MSGF) Programme, which is investing £8.14 million in 2026/27. The programme delivers projects such as new artificial grass pitches, changing pavilions and pitch maintenance equipment.
The MSGF Programme is delivered by the Scottish Football Association in Scotland, where it is administered as part of the SFA’s wider Pitching In Programme. The MSGF Programme aims to promote health, wellbeing and community cohesion, while removing the barriers to physical activity for under-represented groups, such as women and girls, people with disabilities, and ethnic minority communities.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Answer of 11 September 2023 to Question 196336 on Sports: Scotland and the stipulation that at least 40% of projects must benefit at least one other sport in addition to football on a sustained and regular...

In Scotland, funding from the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme is delivered through the Scottish Football Association (SFA), with recipients chosen via an application process involving advice from a panel which includes Sport Scotland. At least 40% of the funding must go towards multi-sport projects, and the SFA works closely with Sport Scotland to deliver this funding.
4G pitches are not widely used - Department for Culture, Media and Sport investment is generally used to deliver third generation (3G) synthetic surfaces in line with industry standard.
As per guidance, competitive hockey cannot be played on 3G surfaces but those pitches can still be used for training purposes and for other sports e.g rugby (where shock-pads are installed).
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the funding awarded to the Scottish Football Association through the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme, what guidance was issued to the Scottish Football Association on how the multisport portion of the funding should be used; how much...

Decisions on the allocation of funds under the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme are devolved to relevant sporting bodies in respective parts of the UK, as they have appropriate expertise and understanding of local provision. Sport Scotland provides advice and guidance alongside the Scottish FA through the project selection process. Details on the Scottish FA’s approach are published here.
However, multi-sport benefit is a key pillar of the grassroots facilities programme and we stipulate that at least 40% of projects must benefit at least one other sport in addition to football, on a sustained and regular basis. There is no requirement for particular sports to be prioritised as part of this objective, and multi-sport plans are led by local need.
Projects are selected for a variety of reasons - some for their ability to deliver improved facilities in deprived areas, others may support multi-sport use, and/or increase participation among currently under-represented groups — such as women and girls or disabled players.

A positive change in recent years is that independent producers are not all sitting in London. It used to be that people in the creative industries eventually had to come to the capital of the UK, or else they could not progress. Does my hon. Friend celebrate Channel 4 not...
