Living in Broxburn, Uphall or close by?
Why not pop along to your local club on a Wednesday @BroxburnUnited Sports Club. It's perfect for those aged 50+ living with dementia and other long-term conditions who enjoy talking sport with fun and inclusive activities.
The value of research is shown here in identifying the challenges, and explaining how to change and what new paths to take to increase participation👇. The OSS is here to help anyone in Scotland looking to do the same. #InspiringChange #SportForAll
