The Area Based ModelLindsay RenwickHead of Customer Services (West)Edinburgh Leisure
The Area Based Model
Based around Meggetland but would include clubs, schools and organisations in theColinton Road corridor.
Plan is to engage all clubs, sporting organisations, schools and communityorganisations
Increase participation within the Hub’s area
Create an environment where the local community could directlyinfluence the sports activity that takes place in and around theMeggetland Hub.
Create and actively promote a culture of active and lifelong participationfor the long term benefits of the community
Develop a self-sustaining sports co-operative that actively influences allaspects of physical activity provision within the area
Create a self-governing Hub which delivers the visions of a CommunitySports Hub model as outlined by sportscotland, whilst working inpartnership with key partners such as the facility operators and owners
Edinburgh Leisure will initiate the project but ultimately
the group itself will become self sustaining
and continue to deliver it’s objectives
