Celebrating Edinburgh Leisure’s Volunteers – Thank You 2025

On 6th June, Edinburgh Leisure proudly celebrated Volunteer Thank You Day as part of Volunteer Week, a national celebration recognising the incredible contributions of volunteers across the UK.

With over 190 amazing volunteers supporting our services, Edinburgh Leisure were thrilled to welcome 60 of them to a special event, which was all about bringing our volunteers together to share stories, learn more about our health and community programmes, and most importantly—say a heartfelt thank you.

Volunteers are at the heart of what Edinburgh Leisure does. From helping people get active to boosting wellbeing and spreading the word about our services, their impact is felt across every corner of our community. Many of the volunteers tell us how rewarding the experience is—whether it’s meeting new people, supporting others on their fitness journeys, or watching participants grow in confidence.

This celebration was a fantastic reminder of the power of volunteering and the difference it makes. We loved hearing our volunteers’ stories and sharing more about how they help us get people more active, more often.
