2020/21
A YEAR LIKE NO OTHER At the beginning of lockdown in March 2020, Sport Aberdeen closed all of its venues in line with government guidelines. As a means of continuing to engage with the community and provide opportunities for people in Aberdeen to remain active and participate in exercise, the charity loaned out gym equipment and set up Get active @ Home; a completely free online resource with live and recorded exercise classes and wellbeing hints and tips for people of all ages and abilities.
Over 2,000 kg worth of exercise equipment delivered to local customers
150 customers loaned equipment
Over 80 body pump kits
700 kg of dumbbells
100 step blocks
“I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Sport Aberdeen for supporting the community and helping us all to stay active in this challenging time. I am so grateful for the loan of this equipment, this will make a huge difference to keeping me healthy and motivate me on my workouts every day! “All the staff and especially the Health and Wellbeing Coordinators have put in a lot of hard work and effort in organising and delivering the equipment. They are always making sure their members are happy and are an asset to Sport Aberdeen!” - Natalie Newlands a regular at Sport Aberdeen’s Get active @ Jesmond gym
