As the national agency for sport in Scotland, sportscotland is focused on realising the vision of an active Scotland in which everyone benefits from sport and from finding ways to be physically active every day, both at home and at work. The organisation aims to help people meet fewer barriers to being included in sport, and to encourage them to be involved in ways that suit them so they can experience the benefits, either individually or through their communities.

SAMH, Scotland’s national mental health charity, operates an extensive range of support services which – together with national programme work in See Me, respectme, suicide prevention, and physical activity and sport – aim to influence positive social change in our communities. People experiencing mental health problems can face barriers that prevent them from participating in physical activity – including low energy and confidence, and lack of support and motivation. SAMH helps them to overcome these and benefit from being active.

Glasgow City Council and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde are now jointly planning and delivering all of Glasgow’s community health and social care services – for children, adults and older people, including homelessness and criminal justice services. This is being done as the Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership, which is directed by the Glasgow City Integration Joint Board. Glasgow’s vision for community health and social care services is: ‘Communities will be empowered to support people to flourish and live healthier, more fulfilled lives, by having access to the right support, in the right place and at the right time.’
