The mission of sportscotland, the national agency for sport, is to build a world class sporting system for everyone in Scotland.
In our work with partners we aim to put sport at the heart of society, making a positive impact on people and communities.
So who are these people, where are these communities and who are our partners?
The purpose of Playing Our Part is two-fold:
- To bring the sporting system to life through personal experiences
- To measure our progress against outcomes and enablers in 2017-18
We hope you will enjoy the stories of Emma Waldie and the McCowan family and see how their experiences relate to the infographic in our summary of progress document.

We aim to ensure everyone in Scotland has the opportunity to participate and progress in sport.
