Live Active Leisure has made a commitment to support individuals and communities to take the positive steps towards activity through the introduction and work of the Live Active Community Team.  This is reflected in the teams involvement to supplement Live Active Leisure's objectives of;

• "Improving access to service" and
• "Working with partners"

Our team consists of:

Pam works with local communities and supports partners to develop, deliver and promote appropriate opportunities for walking in areas across Perth and Kinross. This involves supporting people to become volunteers, training, developing new walking groups and supporting other agencies to incorporate walking in to their activities. The Stride for Life project particularly aims to encourage inactive people to walk more to benefit their health and wellbeing. It is a great way to meet new people, explore your community and is easy to fit in to every day life. Pam will support individuals and communities to address any barriers that they may have.
