Sporting Initiatives
We passionately believe in the power of sport and the positive impact it can have on individuals’ and communities’ physical, mental and social health and wellbeing.
We want to inspire everyone to get started and stay active through sport. We are in a position to do this because unlike any other sport and leisure operator in the city, we have a partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council that gives us access to an unrivalled range of venues which we operate on a not-for-profit basis.
Our sport projects are about improving the quality of our coaching services and expanding their reach, from those starting out through to athletes training for major sporting competition we are proud to work with them all.
We share the aspirations of our colleagues in the City of Edinburgh Council and sportscotland to support the development of local sports clubs and work with partners to support performance sport.
