FUNDING & SUPPORT
HSBC Golf Roots Centres
‘Start and Stay’ in golf
What are HSBC Golf Roots Centres?
In partnership with the Golf Foundation, Scottish Golf is offering golf clubs and facilities the opportunity to benefit from funding through the HSBC Golf Roots Centres project. This initiative has been designed to support the transition from schools’ activity into your club and encourages young people to ‘Start and Stay’ in golf. Funding will support the pathway from school into clubs and onto junior membership, contributing to a fun and family-friendly club environment.
Previously, clubs have identified a number of barriers to engaging with schools such as transport, equipment, marketing and additional coaching costs. The HSBC Golf Roots Centres has therefore been designed to help clubs overcome these barriers and will be allocated specifically to these areas.
How much can a Club apply for?
Clubs can apply for a set amount per area, with a maximum of £1,000 per club application.
| Area | Amount Available |
|---|---|
| Junior Equipment | £300 |
| Marketing / Promotional Materials | £100 |
| Fee for Pro or Roving Pro delivering in schools | £350 |
| Transport from school to club | £250 |
Following approval of your application, the club will be awarded 50% of the funds then will receive the remaining 50% on successful completion of your monitoring form at the end of the project.
