Skilz is a non-profitable charity, and our mission is to enhance the lives of individuals and communities by providing a diverse range of opportunities, which promote Health and Wellbeing for all.
Skilz Community Health & Wellbeing Project is a person-centered and community needs-led project in Arbroath. We offer free sport, physical activity and recreational activities which is open to the community. Sessions are inclusive to all, however, we will work with partnership organizations to specifically support those experiencing poverty, mental health issues, social isolation and loneliness, poor confidence and self-esteem, those who are physically inactive and those who are managing long-term health conditions.
Project Elevate aims to support girls and young women to become more active. The staff works with young people to find their interests and create a programme that offers variety and diversity, allowing the young people to experience different physical activities or sports that they may not have the chance to do so within their school PE class.
