Fife Sports and Leisure Trust is launching its new Talented Athlete Programme (TAP), providing aspiring athletes with access to high-quality training facilities and development opportunities across Fife. Coinciding with the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, the programme forms part of the organisation’s contribution to the wider Summer of Sport campaign, creating a lasting legacy by supporting talented athletes and inspiring more people across Fife to get involved in sport.

As excitement builds around the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, Fife Sports and Leisure Trust is using the opportunity to celebrate local sporting talent and inspire more people to get involved in sport. The Talented Athlete Programme has been designed to support aspiring athletes with access to high-quality facilities, helping them train, develop, and perform while remaining connected to their local clubs and communities.

The Talented Athlete Programme supports athletes competing at regional, national, and international level through two membership tiers, providing discounted or free access to Fife Sports and Leisure Trust facilities depending on their level of competition. By reducing barriers to training and improving access to high-quality facilities, TAP aims to help athletes perform at their best.

Colin Glencorse, Head of Operations at Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said: “The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games will inspire thousands of people to get involved in sport, and we want that inspiration to have a lasting impact here in Fife. Through our Talented Athlete Programme, we’re investing in local athletes by providing access to the facilities and support they need to develop, progress and achieve their potential.”

Fraser Mackenzie, Head of Sales and Commercial Development at Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, added: “We’re proud to support the next generation of sporting talent. By improving access to our facilities and creating clear development pathways, we’re helping talented athletes achieve their potential while strengthening connections with local clubs and communities.”

The Talented Athlete Programme forms part of Fife Sports and Leisure Trust’s contribution to the wider Summer of Sport campaign, reflecting the organisation’s commitment to improving health and wellbeing, increasing participation in sport, and supporting aspiring athletes across Fife.

Athletes looking for additional financial support may also be eligible for Fife Council’s Community Sports Grants, which provide funding for individual athletes, coaches and sports officials. Further information is available on the Fife Council website.

Athletes, parents, and clubs can learn more about the Talented Athlete Programme, eligibility criteria and application process by visiting the Fife Sports and Leisure Trust website https://www.fifeleisure.org.uk/tap

The organisation marks a decade of delivering Learn to Swim by promoting vital water safety skills and giving children the chance to win a year of free swimming lessons.

Fife Sports and Leisure Trust is proud to support Drowning Prevention Week 2026, a national campaign led by the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) to raise awareness of water safety and help prevent accidental drowning.

Taking place from 13th to 20th June 2026, the campaign encourages children, young people and families to learn essential water safety skills and understand how to stay safe in and around water.

This year also marks a significant milestone for Fife Sports and Leisure Trust as it celebrates 10 years of delivering the National Learn to Swim Framework in partnership with Scottish Swimming and Scottish Water. Since launching the programme in 2016, the organisation has supported more than 80,000 swimmers on their journey, trained around 220 instructors, and now helps more than 8,800 learners each week build confidence in the water and develop vital lifesaving skills.

As part of Drowning Prevention Week, swimming instructors across Fife will deliver dedicated Water Safety lessons within the Learn to Swim programme. Aligned with the National Learn to Swim Framework, these lessons will focus on essential skills including floating techniques, self-rescue, cold water awareness and understanding the Water Safety Code.

Learning to swim is about much more than developing confidence in the water. It is a vital life skill that can help keep people safe throughout their lives and reduce the risk of drowning.

Water Safety Poster Competition – Win a Year of Free Swimming Lessons

To encourage children to think creatively about water safety, Fife Sports and Leisure Trust is once again launching its popular Water Safety Poster Competition.

Children enrolled in the Learn to Swim programme are invited to design their own water safety poster, with one lucky winner receiving a full year of free swimming lessons.

Entries will be showcased across Fife Sports and Leisure Trust’s social media channels throughout the week, helping spread important water safety messages while celebrating the creativity of local young people.

How to Enter

Parents or guardians should take a photograph of their child with their completed poster and submit it via:

• Email: learntoswim@fifeleisure.org.uk
• Direct Message on Facebook
• Tag @FifeLeisure on Instagram

Competition Details

• Competition launches: Saturday 13th June 2026
• Entries close: Monday 22nd June 2026
• Winner announced: Friday 26th June 2026
• By submitting an entry, participants consent to their photograph and artwork being shared on Fife Sports and Leisure Trust social media channels.
• No cash alternative is available.

Lee Cunningham, Activities Manager at Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said: “As we celebrate 10 years of delivering the Learn to Swim programme, we’re incredibly proud of the positive impact it has had on thousands of people across our communities. Through swimming lessons and dedicated water safety education, we’re helping children build confidence, develop vital lifesaving skills and enjoy the water safely.

Our poster competition is a fun and creative way for children to engage with water safety while having the chance to win a fantastic prize. We look forward to seeing all of the entries and celebrating the important messages they share.”

To help families continue learning at home, a range of free water safety resources is available from:

• www.rlss.org.uk/DPW
• www.learntoswim.scot

These resources, developed by RLSS UK, Scottish Swimming and water safety partners, provide practical advice and activities to help children and families stay safe in and around water.

Fife Sports and Leisure Trust is one of Scotland’s largest providers of the National Learn to Swim Framework. Through its network of swimming pools and qualified instructors, the organisation continues to play a leading role in developing confident swimmers and promoting water safety across Fife.

At Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, we see every day how physical activity can transform lives. For Maggie Thomson, Michael Woods Sports and Leisure Centre became a place that supported her health, built her confidence, and helped her form meaningful connections.

Following her passing in January 2026, Maggie is remembered not only for her own journey, but for the lasting impact she had on those around her.

Maggie’s journey began with a routine health check at her local clinic. She had been diagnosed with high blood pressure and was advised she was pre-diabetic. Acting on the advice of her nurse, Maggie took an important first step and joined a 12-week health and wellbeing programme through Fife Sports and Leisure Trust.

At first, she wasn’t sure. Gyms had always felt overwhelming to her, but that changed the moment she walked through the doors at Michael Woods. With support from the Health and Wellbeing team, and guidance from instructors like Lawrence, Maggie began to build both her confidence and her fitness. Over the course of the programme, she lost a stone and a half, but more importantly, she gained energy, improved her overall health, and discovered a new sense of enjoyment in being active.

After completing the programme, Maggie didn’t stop. She kept going.

She took to the swimming pool and found a love for Aqua Aerobics, led by instructor Debbie Young, whose classes she described as full of “music, atmosphere, and endorphins.” These sessions became a highlight of her week, not just for the physical benefits, but for the joy and connection they brought.

Maggie often spoke about how attending classes made her feel ready to “take on the world.”

But Maggie’s story wasn’t only about her own health, it was about the impact she had on others.

A retired school secretary and a respected member of the Rimbleton Primary School community, Maggie brought her warmth and compassion into everything she did. At Michael Woods, she quickly became a familiar and welcoming face. She built strong friendships with fellow class members, including Karen, Kay, Dee, Maureen and Margaret, and helped create a supportive, inclusive community within the Aqua Aerobics classes.

Her friends say that Maggie had a natural ability to make people feel at ease. Whether chatting before class, encouraging others during sessions, or welcoming new faces, including participants from Disability Sport Fife, Maggie made sure everyone felt they belonged.

Outside of the centre, Maggie’s commitment to her community continued. She volunteered regularly, from supporting activities at West Braes in Pittenweem to teaching crochet to pupils at Markinch Primary School. She also loved walking, often covering up to 10 miles a day.

Her energy, kindness, and generosity left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

As Debbie Young reflected: “Maggie met a lot of new friends coming to the class, and she even brought along friends to join too. She absolutely loved the atmosphere of music, movement and smiles… There are some attendees that make a lasting impact, and that was Maggie. She will never be forgotten.”

Her loss has been deeply felt by staff, friends, and the wider community at Michael Woods.

Her story, however, leaves us with an important message.

Maggie’s journey began with a simple health check. A moment that prompted her to take action. Her experience is a reminder of how important it is to listen to our bodies, seek advice when something doesn’t feel right, and take proactive steps towards better health.

Regular physical activity can play a vital role in managing and preventing long-term health conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Just as importantly, it can improve mental wellbeing, build confidence, and create meaningful social connections.

You don’t have to be confident or experienced to start, as Maggie herself showed, what matters most is taking that first step.

If you have concerns about your health, we encourage you to speak to a healthcare professional and consider exploring supportive programmes like Active Options at Fife Sports and Leisure Trust. These classes are designed specifically for individuals living with long-term health conditions, with options for both self-referral and referral through a health professional. You can find out more here: https://www.fifeleisure.org.uk/health-wellbeing/

For additional trusted guidance on physical activity and managing your health, NHS Fife provides a range of helpful resources: https://www.nhsfife.org/pain-talking/useful-information-and-resources/

Maggie’s journey is one of courage, kindness, and transformation. She will be remembered not only for her dedication to her own health, but for the way she lifted others along the way.

Her legacy lives on in the community she helped build, and in every person, she inspired to take that first step.

This week (11th-17th May) is Mental Health Awareness Week, a national campaign led by the Mental Health Foundation. This year’s theme, “Take Action”, focuses on the small things we can all do to support our mental wellbeing.

We know wellbeing is about more than just physical health. Staying active, feeling connected, being part of a community, and knowing where to go for support can all make a real difference to how we feel.

Across our venues and programmes, we’re proud to support people across Fife to become and stay active and well. Whether that’s through exercise, social connection, community programmes, or providing welcoming spaces where people can access support, we know local venues can play an important role in wellbeing.

Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, in partnership with Fife Council, is pleased to announce the completion of recent improvement works at Dalgety Bay Sports and Leisure Centre, including the installation of a brand-new sports floor in the sports hall. 

The project took place from 22nd September to 31st October, delivered by Sports Surfaces UK. Alongside the new floor installation, the hall has benefited from upgraded ventilation and heating systems, enhanced lighting levels, and a full redecoration of the walls and surrounding areas. Mini basketball hoops have also been added to support cross-court play as part of ongoing investment in the facility. 

The new sports hall floor has been line-marked for pickleball and a range of other sports, reflecting Fife Sports and Leisure Trust’s commitment to supporting both traditional and emerging activities and providing more opportunities for local people to get active. 

The organisation has been working proactively with Dunfermline and Carnegie Cricket Club and Cricket Scotland to enhance indoor winter training opportunities, supported by the installation of new cricket nets. Looking ahead, the team is excited to expand the centre’s junior coaching programme, with new Run, Jump, Throw athletics sessions and more activities launching soon. 

Jimmy Dunbar, Area Leisure Manager at Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said: “We’re delighted to see the transformation of the sports hall at Dalgety Bay Sports and Leisure Centre. The new Pulastic floor and wider facility upgrades have made a real difference to the space, ensuring it continues to meet the needs of our community and provide the best possible environment for sport and activity. By working closely with partners such as Fife Council, we’re supporting participation across a broad range of sports and creating more opportunities for people of all ages to get involved.” 

Councillor Linda Erskine, Fife Council Spokesperson for Communities & Leisure Services, added: “This investment demonstrates Fife Council’s ongoing commitment to improving local facilities and promoting active lifestyles. The new floor, improved infrastructure, and multi-sport markings show how Fife Sports and Leisure Trust venues are evolving to meet community needs and encourage participation in both established and growing sports such as cricket and pickleball.”

This project has been made possible through funding from Fife Council, underlining their dedication to the Physical Activity and Sports Strategy 2022–25 and its aim to invest in facilities and opportunities for physical activity and sport across Fife. 

As part of Fife Sports and Leisure Trust’s ongoing commitment to creating inviting, inclusive, and inspiring fitness spaces, further improvements are also planned for the gym, which will feature refreshed equipment and an updated look. These updates reinforce the organisation’s dedication to supporting the health, fitness, and wellbeing of communities across Fife.

Lee Cunningham, Activities Manager at Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said: “This year’s October programme is one of our biggest yet, with everything from Quid-a-Kid sessions to specialist camps across Fife. It’s about making sure families can access a wide range of affordable activities, and we’re proud to work with Fife Council and our partners to deliver so many opportunities for local communities.”

Cameron Kingsland, Participation Manager at Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said: “What makes these programmes so special is the difference they make for children and families. Whether it’s learning a new skill, making friends, or simply enjoying being active, we see the positive impact every holiday. We can’t wait to welcome families this October and see young people enjoying everything on offer.”
