PCS Partners

PCS is dependent and built upon on a number of successful partnerships with businesses, local authorities and major governing bodies of sport in Scotland.

Without these links the programme would not be possible.

Below you will see details on the Wood Family Trust, our founding funder, and the Scottish FA, our lead partner on the delivery of PCS to sport in Scotland.

Please use the menu on the left side of this page to view our other partners.

Scottish FA

The Scottish FA is a lead partner in our five pilot areas, with Fife focusing specifically on football. We enjoy the full support of Scottish FA chief executive, Gordon Smith.

A full time resource has been co-funded with the Scottish FA and Winning Scotland Foundation to develop and roll-out football specific PCS materials across the pilot areas. Further information on the future development of the programme will be available soon.
