COMMUNITY PROGRAMMES

PKAVS

(Perth & Kinross Association of Voluntary Service)
Scotland All-Strong is delighted to be delivering programmes of movement, mindful relaxation and peer support to groups of unpaid carers through the PKAVS Carer’s Hub, funded by the Perth & Kinross Council’s Community Investment Fund. Carers benefit greatly from this time to themselves and with each other, sharing the challenges and experiences of self-care in demanding roles and busy lives.

COMMUNITY AWARDS

NATIONAL LOTTERY COMMUNITY FUND

We were delighted to receive an Awards for All, which has enabled us to launch and develop our core programmes of ‘Fitness to Feel Better,’ combining a choice of workout, with guided relaxation and facilitated peer support for the recovery, self-management and early intervention/prevention of common mental health issues. Thanks to National Lottery players we are currently able to offer these 8 Week Programmes for just £32 per person.

ONGOING PARTNERSHIPS

PERTH AUTISM SUPPORT

Following successful pilot programmes of Parent’s Pilates, Parent & Teen Fitness & Strength, and Youth’s Fitness, Scotland All-Strong has formed an ongoing partnership with PAS, currently delivering group and one-to-one sessions for the Young Adult Fitness Project. Delivering positive experiences of a wide variety of exercises and approaches to training in our fully-private and welcoming setting, as well as relaxation techniques and opportunities for peer interaction, it is wonderful to see the progress these youngsters make in terms of confidence, ability and attitude towards training, helping to set them up for lifetimes of activity and self-care.

SUCCESS STORIES

SUPPORT IN MIND PERTH

We have delivered two very successful programmes of activity, relaxation and peer support to users of Support in Mind Perth, unpaid carers who look after those with more severe mental health conditions, and we look forward to providing more in due course. The most recent of these was fully sponsored by local business Richard-Irvin FM Ltd.
