As of Monday 26 May 2025, Grangemouth Community Sports Trust (GCST) has taken on the management and day-to-day operation of Grangemouth Stadium under a one-year Community Benefit Licence approved by Falkirk Council.

This new arrangement ensures that the stadium remains open and active throughout the busy summer athletics season and beyond, supporting both local and national sporting events.

The move marks the first step towards a potential longer-term Community Asset Transfer (CAT), which, if approved, would represent one of the largest and most significant CATs of its kind in Scotland.

Supporting Community Sport

Falkirk Council is supporting GCST with up to £120,000 in revenue funding over two years and capital investment of up to £350,000 to help improve the facility and ensure a strong start. GCST will operate the venue on a full repairing and insuring basis for a nominal rent of £1 per year, recognising the wider community benefit of the arrangement.

The transition also brings long-term financial benefits through charitable rates relief and the opportunity for GCST to attract external funding to enhance and grow the facility.
