📣 Community sports clubs - come and work in partnership with us to get more pupils more active, more often while also strengthening your club!!

During each school year, we aim to get more children and young people more active, more often. While its great to see kids giving lots of different sports a go, its even better to see them finding a sport they absolutely love and then continuing with it at a local club!

We would love to hear from sports clubs based in and around Galashiels who would like to work in partnership with us in order to bring more children and young people into their club sessions. There are lots of ways we can work in partnership. It might just involve us promoting your existing club sessions. Or it might involve your club running a block of free sessions at a local school or your club venue so pupils can give your sport/club a go before committing to a membership. However your club would like the partnership top work, we are hear to help!

To register your interest in getting involved with us - please either scan the QR code on the pictured poster OR click on the following link:

We will tag some local clubs that we are aware of in this post. However, please feel free to share this post with local clubs you are aware of who you think might be up for getting involved.
