Fife Sports and Leisure Trust has thrown its support behind a national campaign to get more people moving.

The organisation, which operates 14 sports and leisure venues across the kingdom on behalf of Fife Council, is backing the Together We Move campaign.

The scheme aims to inspire residents to embrace movement in any form, from everyday activities like walking to the shops or carrying groceries, to more energetic options like dancing.

Sharron McCormick, marketing, communications and sales manager at Fife Sports and Leisure Trust, said: "You’ll have a better mood and feel happier.

"You’ll get more energy and reduce your stress levels and also improve your sleep.

"People who are active feel better about themselves and have increased confidence.

"Across our sites, we see people who have transformed their lives by increasing their activity levels and getting involved in sport."

She said even small daily actions can make a difference and could lead to participation in structured activities at one of the charity’s centres.

The campaign encourages people to share photos and videos of their activities using the hashtag #TogetherWeMoveScotland.

Fife Sports and Leisure Trust also offers discounted activity classes through its health and wellbeing programme, alongside regular promotions such as £1 taster sessions for children.
