(Continued Charity Objectives)
4.3 The advancement of public participation in sport: We believe in the promotion of social inclusion for those who are excluded from participating in sport & physical activity due to their social & economic position in Midlothian, encouraging participation on an equal and inclusive basis, thereby reaching those less likely to engage. We will provide inspiration & motivation for continued participation by offering free activities designed to build confidence in ability, skill & physical fitness that are well structured, organised & have a fun element. Activities will be an introduction to sports recognised as a sport by a national body, with no commitment to join the clubs after the camps. We will bring about a positive difference to the public by giving them the choice to access something that can help improve mental health, enhance confidence, self-esteem, reduce/prevent medication, promote the desire to engage in more & make positive changes in their lives all of which can add value to a community.
4.4 The provision of recreational facilities or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended: By removing as many barriers as possible to give those living in social poverty as many opportunities as those in more fortunate circumstances & by addressing disparities & reducing
inequality we will be helping to improve conditions of life.
Our mission is to act as a resource, provide opportunities, pathways and assistance to access organised programmes of physical & recreational activities that are beneficial to physical health, help to reduce social isolation & exclusion due to circumstances, provide opportunities to learn new skills through SQA accredited award schemes & pathways to support young people preparing for employment. Activities are open to all, but preference will be given to those who are experiencing social difficulties, regardless of age, race, religious or political beliefs.

4.1 The relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage: Our aim is to address the consequence of poverty for those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship, by providing a resource that can help relieve financial hardship for those who do not have the resources to provide for themselves such things as access to physical activity & sport. We will tackle this by, offering free places on holiday camps for children & young people, funded places for those who are recognised as needing support due to circumstances, supplying kit/equipment to all who need it & transport if it is a barrier, offering a variety of taster sessions for families, using the feedback from to ensure we are meeting the correct need & demand. Removing barriers can bring a sense of inclusion, help to improve quality of life for the beneficiaries and give them the choice of participating in sport or activity without the barrier of cost determining that choice.
4.2 The advancement of health: Our aim is to help children, young people & families living in poverty within Midlothian maintain or improve their physical & mental health by becoming active regularly. By providing opportunities that encourage them to take up regular pastimes we are offering a more holistic approach to tackling health issues. Activities will contain elements of education regarding the importance of healthy eating, how to look after yourself mentally, developing friendships & being kind. We will be helping to develop knowledge & understanding of the value being active brings to your health, build the confidence to pursue this & remain active on a regular basis, experience the positive effects of being regularly active which will instil a desire to adopt & maintain a healthy lifestyle that carries on into their teens and adulthood.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.
If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions. |
