Edinburgh Leisure | Monday 1st July 2024 0:05am

At Edinburgh Leisure, we are a charity dedicated to helping people stay active and well. Managing over 50 sports, leisure, and school facilities across the city, our mission is to create opportunities for everyone to get active and remain active. But our work goes beyond just providing facilities; through our Active Communities programme, we support 12,500 people annually who face the greatest barriers to getting active, including those affected by health conditions, disabilities, inequalities, and poverty. Among the groups we support are care-experienced children and young people (CECYP) and those struggling with mental health issues.
