Through our partnership with Capability Scotland we are able to provide support workers who can work with disabled individuals and coaches to support the inclusion of disabled young people into mainstream physical activity provision.

Our partnership with Friends of the Award also means that all activity undertaken through the Active Futures programme can be credited towards the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
