Edinburgh Leisure celebrates its volunteers
Edinburgh Leisure has paid tribute to the vital role of its volunteers with a special Volunteer Thank You Day, held during of the UK's annual Volunteer Week celebrations.
Around 60 of the organisation's 190 volunteers got together for a day when the impact of their contributions was highlighted. Hosted at Meadowbank Sports Centre, the gathering recognised the essential role volunteers play in supporting health and wellbeing in the city.
Stephen Hughes, Volunteer Development Manager at Edinburgh Leisure said: 'Our volunteers are the heartbeat of many of our community programmes.
'They help us reach more people, deliver more services, and ultimately improve lives through physical activity. This event was a small way to say a big thank you.'
Volunteers at Edinburgh Leisure support a wide range of initiatives, from health walks and inclusive fitness sessions to youth engagement and wellbeing programmes. Their efforts help reduce barriers to physical activity and promote healthier, more connected communities.
The celebration also offered volunteers the opportunity to share their experiences, learn more about Edinburgh Leisure's services, and connect with fellow volunteers and staff. Many spoke of the personal rewards of volunteering, including meeting new people, supporting others, and seeing participants grow in confidence and wellbeing.
