SGB CEO Forum statement on outgoing Minister for Sport & Communities

The Scottish Sports Governing Body Forum wishes to thank outgoing Minister for Public Health, Sport & Wellbeing, Joe FitzPatrick MSP, for his commitment and dedication to protecting the sporting landscape in Scotland throughout the COVID crisis. Under the outgoing Minister's guidance Sports Governing Bodies received support from sportscotland to combat the crippling effect COVID has had on sports clubs, communities and events across the country.

The Forum are keen to meet and work with the new Minister responsible for the Sport portfolio in Scotland appointed by @ScotGovFM as it is vital that sport retains a strong presence at Cabinet level as we leverage the #PowerOfSport to actively contribute to the nation’s recovery from the effects of COVID.

In the new year the 35 SGBs of the Forum will collectively launch a new national #PowerOfSport campaign to encourage everyone in Scotland to embrace #SportForLife as we work to improve the health and wellbeing of the nation.
