Over the past five weeks, we've shared stories that highlight the positive impact Live Life Aberdeenshire has within communities across Aberdeenshire.

From supporting people to remain connected through our Doorstep Delivery Service, to creating opportunities through social groups, ASN swimming, Active Schools volunteering and outdoor experiences, each story reflects the same commitment: helping people live healthier, happier and more connected lives.

These five videos, presented over the last few weeks, showcase the incredible individuals, volunteers, participants, and staff who make our services so valuable to the communities we serve.

Thank you to everyone who shared their stories and helped celebrate the difference these services make every day.
