Active Minds for young people age 8-12 years is back!

This project is led by Mindspace, a local mental health charity in Perth. The Active Minds programme supports young people to learn coping skills, and give them confidence and tools to succeed in life, whilst also making some new friends. Active Minds is paired with a fun physical activity session, and over 10 weeks, children will also try a host of circus skills including aerial acrobatics, to juggling and balancing at our Gold PACES club - Adventure Circus!

“Our child says that he’s pleased to have learned about how to cope with worries at Active Minds. He’s spoken to us about some of the strategies he can use.” – Parent of participant

Cammy, Gemma and Cat from our Sports Development team and Rachael from Active Schools attended the Scottish Women in Sport annual conference at the University of the West of Scotland yesterday exploring innovation in sport!

Our favourite moment was hearing from Professor Leanne Norman from Loughborough University who delivered an insightful talk called ‘innovation in sports coaching: from fixing women to redesigning the system’ as well as hearing from Professor Vicky Tolfrey and her work in using sports science to support strategy in wheelchair rugby.

Thanks to SWIS CEO Maureen and team for a fantastic day!
