Sport Aberdeen is still on a high after receiving national recognition at the ukactive Awards held at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham on 30 June. ✨

At the glittering ceremony, the award-winning charity was Highly Commended in the Healthy Communities category.

This category recognised organisations who inspire the wider community to make physical activity a part of its DNA, using their specific needs to shape initiatives and deliver significant results.

Sport Aberdeen’s Active Lifestyles Referral programme was celebrated for having a remarkable impact on many individuals, allowing them to exercise safely and experience the benefits of being active to help manage their condition and overall health.  

Graeme Dale, Head of Sport and Active Communities, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be highly commended at a national level for the work that we do.

“Giving back and improving the lives of those in the local community is the lifeblood of what we do here at Sport Aberdeen, so it is great to receive recognition for our efforts.”
