The Athletics Trust Scotland is a new charity that has been established with the purpose of supporting the ongoing development of athletics in Scotland through fundraising activities.
The charity will help people of all ages and abilities across Scotland to participate, contribute and excel in all aspects of athletics. Working closely with scottishathletics, we are launching the ‘Athletics for Life’ campaign to secure significant investment into a wide range of projects, helping people and communities across Scotland to change lives for the better.
Athletics for Life will initially consist of three main strands which will help deliver on our charitable objectives:
Transforming lives through athletics and running
Targeting medals
Strengthening communities through athletics and running
A huge thank you to Lucy Stanley who is our first fundraiser for a marathon event! Lucy's target of £500 will help provide much needed support for groups and clubs such as parasport equipment, facility hire and programme delivery in disadvantaged communities across Scotland!

I am running Edinburgh Marathon for Athletics Trust Scotland. I would be greatly appreciative if you could have a read at my just giving page. It is a wonderful cause.
SCOTTISH RUNNING WEEK TAKES PLACE ON MONDAY 3RD JUNE 2024!
Last year, running clubs, jogging groups, companies, and schools all helped raised funds to support 10 organisations across Scotland to support those with disabilities, in poverty or from ethnically and culturally diverse backgrounds to take up running & athletics.
Our theme this year is inclusivity. The funds raised during the week will be channeled into the Transforming Lives Grant Fund, supporting organisations that share the mission of fostering inclusivity in athletics & running.
If your company is interested in becoming a sponsor for Scottish Running Week 2024, we would be delighted the various sponsorship packages available and tailor them to align with your company's goals and values.
