Midlothian Active Schools aim to provide more opportunities for children to take part in sport and physical activity, before during lunchtime and after school. We develop pathways for children to access sport from school into the wider community. Being a volunteer delivering in school, allows us to provide further clubs for children to access. We also look for volunteers to help us with manage our events programme, such as, course marshal in cross country, referee or score keeper in basketball, athletics or hockey.
