LeisureLink partnership broadens its horizons to include Aberdeenshire
A partnership providing free use of leisure facilities across Scotland is now broadening its horizons to include Aberdeenshire!
A partnership initiative that allows members of fitness schemes across seven Scottish regions to access local facilities in these areas at no extra cost, has welcomed a new partner with Live Life Aberdeenshire coming on board.
Instigated by High Life Highland in 2019, the LeisureLink Partnership means that when people are on holiday or working away from home, members from participating areas can use local facilities for free as part of their existing home based membership.
From Saturday 1st June, Live Life Aberdeenshire joined Highland, Angus, Argyll and Bute, the Borders, Moray, Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles in the LeisureLink family, adding 17 new sites to the extensive list of facilities that people from across the partnership regions can enjoy.
High Life Highland Chief Executive Steve Walsh said: “On behalf of the other partners across the country, I am delighted to welcome Live Life Aberdeenshire to the LeisureLink partnership. This collaboration gives leisure members and their families even greater flexibility to use their leisure cards at various sites right across Scotland, and all at no extra cost.”
Cllr Anne Stirling Chair of Aberdeenshire Council Communities Committee said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer our members the opportunity to keep active at leisure facilities across the country. This flexibility means that people working away from home or on holiday can use local facilities from participating areas as part of their existing home-based membership…..”
Shetland Recreational Trust Acting Chief Executive Officer Robert Geddes said: “We’re delighted to welcome Live Life Aberdeenshire onboard. The inclusion of Aberdeenshire to the partnership will further enhance the membership offering in Shetland, with Aberdeen being the main link port on the mainland it’s is a very welcome addition. This gives More4life members in Shetland another 17 sites to visit if they happen to be travelling or working in the areas covered by Leisure Link. The flexibility extends both ways and we look forward to welcoming more Leisure Link members to experience the facilities in Shetland too.
The Leisure Link Partnership Scheme is administered by High Life Highland, a culture and leisure charity operating across The Highland Council area.
Those making use of the scheme are asked to check directly with the site they are planning to visit for information and details of any advanced booking required. For more information and to check which facilities are included please visit www.leisurelink.org
