Active Communities (Scotland) Ltd

Charity registered in Scotland SC041275

Active Communities was established as a result of the success of Jogging Buddies, which was set up in 2003 to promote walking and jogging in the Paisley area. In 2010, Jogging Buddies changed its company name to Active Communities to better reflect the range of work undertaken in local communities. The company is now a registered charity. Our office base is in Paisley and we work in Renfrewshire and surrounding local authorities. Our aim is to create happy, healthy and active communities where people enjoy being healthy, physically active and active citizens in their communities. We deliver physical activity, community sport and health and wellbeing classes and programmes. We want to encourage and support you to get involved regardless of your age or ability. Our youngest member is two months and our oldest is 91!
