Physical activity can contribute massively to good physical and mental health for everyone, no matter their age or circumstances and physical activity is about so much more than playing sports or going to the gym.
No single organisation can be solely responsible for promoting physical activity and to enable us to develop opportunities effectively we need to adopt a broad based, community connected, partnership approach.
The launch event will take place at: Wed 18th July, 09:30am-12:30pm, North Edinburgh Arts Centre, 15A Pennywell Court EH4 4TZ, wE
Come along to find out what’s going on in your area to promote physical activity; tell people what you’re up to- put your service on the map; join the network and help make things happen
To book a place, please contact Ellie Eaton by email: eleanor.eaton@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk or phone 0131 537 9351.

There are two more chances to help shape North West Edinburgh’s Locality Improvement Plan this week at community consultation events:
This evening at The Prentice Centre there’s a session on ‘North Edinburgh small area’ – that’s Muirhouse, West Pilton, Granton, Royston Wardieburn and Wester Drylaw to you and me, so it’s no’ that small! These traditional working class communities face a number of poverty-related challenges and tonight’s session will look at the draft action plan drawn up to tackle issues in ‘Greater Pilton’. Are the priorities right? Can the plan be improved? What’s missing?
Have your say tonight at The Prentice Centre, Granton Mains Avenue. The session runs from 5.30 – 8pm.
