Mapping Physical Activity in Edinburgh

Mapping Physical Activity in Edinburgh

We want to identify as many physical activity facilities & opportunities as possible all across Edinburgh and put them all on a clever online map and we need your help. 

How can you help? That’s easy. If you know about a group, club, activity, facility, etc. you think we should add to our map go to our online ‘SurveyMonkey’ page here and fill in our short questionnaire, it should only take about 5 minutes.

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/7V8V2WN  

We’d be grateful if you would also pass this on to as many people as possible who might be able to help.

We don’t have a definitive deadline but if you could complete the 5 minute survey as soon as possible it would really help. We’re hoping to as much info as possible processed by the end of August.

Many Thanks

John Brennan

(On behalf of the planning groups behind the Edinburgh Locality Physical Activity Alliances)

If you would like to find out more about the physical activity mapping project or anything else about the physical activity alliances in Edinburgh please get in touch.  There is also a portion of the survey where you can leave your details if you wish.
