Our mission is to get more people, more active, more often…….because we are firm believers in the amazing benefits that a more physically active life can bring.  To aid us in that mission we've recruited over 200 volunteers, whose commitment and enthusiasm enable us to help others to get active. And if that wasn't enough, they can enjoy the warm and fuzzy feeling of helping others too.

We all know that a more active lifestyle gives our self esteem a boost and helps us feel good, so it helps reduce the effects of health problems such as stress, depression and anxiety. Not to mention that it is proven to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, cancer and obesity, strengthens our muscles and joints and reduces the risk of osteoporosis or brittle bones later in life.

Sport also has the ability to unite people of different cultures, ethnicities, abilities and disabilities, and it’s a fun, enjoyable and great way to make friends.

So with all these great things going for it it's no wonder people are prepared to give up their time to bring those benefits to others. And with a huge variety of roles and opportunities across the organisation there is almost certainly something that will interest you. Why not find out more and help Edinburgh become a healthier and happier city?

It will make you smile.
