Open All Hours
Open All Hours is a physical activity youth work provision delivered in partnership between Edinburgh Leisure, the City of Edinburgh Council and voluntary organisations FABB and Cafe K. The provision aims to provide young people with fully inclusive, accessible and affordable opportunities to take part in sports and physical activities at weekends.
Open All Hours takes place in 11 different Edinburgh Leisure facilities based in communities throughout Edinburgh for only £1.00 on a Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. Young People attending can choose to go to the gym, go swimming, participate in a dance session, enjoy team sports or hang out with their pals.
The programme targets High School aged young people, encouraging them to make positive and healthy choices on Fridays. Edinburgh Leisure staff, Youth Workers, Coaches and Volunteers work in small teams to deliver activity programmes which are exciting and engaging, focussing on making sport and physical activity enjoyable and providing appropriate pathways for young people to learn and develop.
Between 350 – 450 young people access the programme every week including those with disabilities. The initiative is part funded through Sportscotland Community Regeneration Fund.
