SACU Club Development Fund
The SACU Club Development Fund is a funding initiative established to support projects that enhance access, inclusion, and long-term sustainability across motorcycle club sport in Scotland.
The SACU governs and promotes a wide range of disciplines including Road Race, Trials, Off Road Speed (such as Motocross and Enduro), and non-motorised Bike Trials. With a network of over 40 affiliated clubs and more than 180 events annually, the SACU aims to make motorcycle sport accessible, inclusive, and safe for participants of all ages and abilities.
The Club Development Fund is guided by the SACU’s mission to break down participation barriers and create lifelong opportunities in sport. Projects applying for funding will be prioritised based on how well they align with the following key criteria:
-
Accessibility and Inclusivity
-
Community Impact
-
Collaborative Partnerships
-
Educational and Skills Development
-
Sustainability
-
Innovation
-
Monitoring and Evaluation
-
Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Eligible projects should demonstrate a meaningful benefit to the motorcycle sport community, with a focus on creating welcoming, equitable environments and promoting lifelong learning, health, and wellbeing through sport.
The SACU Club Development Fund reflects the Union’s core values of being Accessible, Sporting, Collaborating, Supportive, and Sustainable, ensuring that everyone—regardless of background—can take part in and contribute to the growth of motorcycle sport in Scotland.
Application Form - Please complete and submit your application including all supporting documents to office@sacu.co.uk
We welcome applications from all SACU affiliated clubs for our Club Development Fund. While all submissions will be considered, priority will be given to those that clearly meet the published award criteria. Applications will be reviewed at quarterly meetings of the SACU Board of Directors.
Please note that if funding is awarded, it may be granted in full or in part. This will depend on the volume of applications received, the remaining funds available, and the specific nature of the project proposed.
The Club Development Fund will re-open late Spring 2026 and all clubs will be notified of this.
