Since the Games, the team have been working with community activists in Brazil (Rio 2016), Tokyo (Japan 2020), Korea (Seoul 2018) and more to help create Pride Houses at future games, and putting Scotland on the map.

As well as Pride House Glasgow, we are delighted to see that LEAP Sports Scotland Board member, and renowned campaigner and activist Katherine Burrows, has been shortlisted for the Outstanding Campaigner Award, which is a testament to her hard work and dedication. Well done Katherine.
