Scottish Student Sport

Scottish Student Sport (SSS) is the national coordinating and advocacy organisation for active health and sport across colleges and universities.

Their work is closely aligned to student wellbeing and helps to quality assure a vibrant system of student run activities, as outlined in Section 4. Active health and sport contribute significantly to a healthy student experience and can harness the following powers to the benefit of students, institutions, and communities:

2. Active health opportunities that engage a far greater number of students through promoting physical, mental and social health.
3. Hundreds of learning and volunteering opportunities in areas such representation, coaching, officiating, leadership and event delivery.
4. Additional support to colleges to improve the student experience through active health and sport.
5. Qualitative improvement to sports club culture with projects focussing on inclusion, equalities, safety and charitable activity.
