About us
A community sports centre, run by the community
Drumchapel & District Sports Centre is a Scottish charity helping people in Drumchapel and beyond take part in sport and physical activity.
Who we are
Drumchapel & District Sports Centre is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), registered with the Scottish Charity Regulator as charity number SC050353 since 31 July 2020. We run the Sports Centre at 195b Drumry Road East, next to Drumchapel Pool.
We help the local community and the wider public take part in sport and physical activity by providing facilities for organisations, groups and clubs that people can join, take part in or volunteer with.
We are a small charity with one member of staff, supported by a team of volunteers.
Our charitable purposes
- The advancement of public participation in sport and physical activity at Drumchapel & District Sports Centre, Glasgow.
- The provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the people they are intended for.

Why we run a lottery
Running a busy sports building costs money every week — heating, lighting, insurance, cleaning, repairs and equipment. Our income has fallen from £114,844 in 2021/22 to £75,404 in 2024/25, and in each of the last two reported years our spending was higher than our income.
A weekly lottery gives us a steady, predictable income from people who care about the centre, so we can keep it open and keep prices low for local clubs and families.
