At the heart of our community lies a commitment to fostering healthier, more active lives for everyone. Edinburgh Leisure is dedicated to this mission, operating over 50 sport, leisure, and school venues that serve as vital hubs for physical activity.

Our Active Communities Programme is a beacon of hope, utilizing the transformative power of sport to address inequalities and combat the pervasive effects of inactivity. Every year, we support around 12,000 individuals who face significant barriers to being active. These are people affected by health conditions, disabilities, social inequalities, and poverty. They are our neighbours, friends, and family members who deserve the chance to lead happier and healthier lives.

By participating in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2025 on May 24th, you can help us continue this essential work. We invite you to join us in this important cause. Your support can make a real difference; every pound raised will directly contribute to our Active Communities Programme. Together, we can empower local people to overcome their challenges and embrace a more active lifestyle.

Our target is £500 – with your help, we can achieve this goal and change lives for the better.
