Charitable trust helps youngsters stay active this Easter

The region’s leading sports and leisure service provider is making sure this Easter is not all about chocolate with a bumper basket of Easter offers to keep youngsters active.

Charitable trust Fife Sports and Leisure Trust is offering youngsters the opportunity to stay active during the Easter school break with a range of free offers thanks to funding from its partner Fife Council.

Family-popular activities such as swimming, football and racquets sports, for juniors aged 17 and under, will all be free from March 31 to April 16.

In addition, the trust is offering five-day multi-activity camps which include swimming, pool inflatable fun, hockey, football, netball, basketball, racquet sports and arts and crafts.

Emma Walker, chief executive for Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said: “We are really pleased to continue with our commitment to offering affordable access to families across Fife – particularly at a time when household budgets are stretched. As a charitable trust, we are committed to engaging more young people with physical activity at an early age to encourage a lifelong interest in staying active.”

Linda Erskine, Fife Council Spokesperson for Communities and Leisure said: "These are very challenging times across Fife, and I'm delighted we're able to work with Fife Sport and Leisure Trust to provide free activities and lessen the burden for families where we can.

“Providing sporting opportunities for Fifers is an important priority for the council. Keeping fit and active is essential for our health and wellbeing. We hope as many families as possible can take advantage of the offer.”
