Summer of Sport

Summer 2026 has been dubbed the ‘Summer of Sport’, and Scotland is buzzing with excitement!

Why not turn your sporting spirit into something meaningful by fundraising for Age Scotland?

Summer is the ideal time to start exercising because of longer days, warmer weather, and increased sunshine, which can boost our energy and motivation. Throw some fundraising in the mix, and your summer can have even more of a positive impact.

From sports quizzes and football matches to hosting your own mini Commonwealth Games, we have plenty of useful tips and sport-themed ideas to help you fundraise and make a difference to the lives of older people.

With your help, we can ensure no one faces the challenges of older age alone by providing advice, friendship, and practical support to those who need us most across Scotland.

We will support you every step of the way:

• Our Summer of Sport fundraising pack is packed full of tips, ideas, and practical information to help you get inspired. Our pack is FREE and available to read or download online. 
• Our fundraising materials (e.g., balloons, collection cans, and t-shirts) can help you raise vital pounds and awareness of Age Scotland's services.
• You'll receive help and support from our dedicated fundraising team. Got a question or need fundraising advice? We're happy to help!

 Make every match, movement or mile count for older people in Scotland this summer.
