Recognising that sport and physical activity play an important role in improving health and quality of life it brings together five key components - SportPlus, Active Schools, Health Equalities/Improvement, Recreation & Physical Activity and Sports Development.

Our aim is to raise awareness of the benefits of sport and physical activity, to provide opportunities for every individual in East Lothian to be more active and to create an environment in which taking activity is enjoyable.
