The SACU have created a long term strategic plan in alignment with our vision, mission and core values.
The Scottish Auto Cycle Union (SACU) is the National Governing Body for motorcycle sport in Scotland. The SACU develops and promotes a number of motorcycle disciplines including:
- Road Race (inclusive of Sidecars)
- Trials
- Off Road Speed (Motocross, Enduro, Quads and Supermoto)
- Bike Trials (non-motorised)
Formed in 1913, the SACU now has over 40 affiliated clubs which organise in excess of 180 events each year for all ages and abilities across 94 permitted venues; some of which are Forestry and Land Scotland partnerships. The SACU issues competition licences, event insurance and also provides training for officials and coaches. Each sporting discipline has its own committee, elected by the clubs, to help promote and develop their sport
Vision
To be an inclusive, modern and sustainable NGB with our clubs and members at the centre of the sports’ development.
Mission
To be accessible to all demographics and socioeconomic backgrounds by working with clubs and key partners to reduce real and perceived participation barriers. We will offer opportunities which are safe and enjoyable leading to lifelong, fulfilling experiences and success in motorcycle sport.
The SACU is committed to advancing the Fair Work First criteria, including the Real Living Wage, and the Effective Workers Voice conditions.
