Our All Ability Cycling project enables and encourages everyone to get cycling. For some children, and many adults, riding a bike is difficult or impossible due to disability, illness, lack of equipment or confidence. All Ability Cycling aims to give those people the chance to experience the freedom, fun, independence and the feeling of achievement - gaining fitness, confidence and balance that can be achieved through bicycling. We run supported sessions, guided social rides, events and a buddy scheme across Perth and Kinross. Our volunteers play a vital role in supporting groups and individuals, giving them the chance to have fun and get active.

Law & District AAC have 3 training bases across Lanarkshire, at Biggar, Carluke and Wishaw. We offer quality coaching in all areas of running, jumping and throwing to club members from the age of 9 years upwards. We have a membership of around 270 athletes, 40 of whom reside in the Biggar area. Our Biggar base was set up 13 years ago and has proved very popular and successful. We are the only athletic club in the Clydesdale area and the weekly training session in Biggar provides an introduction to athletics for youngsters in this rural area. We are urgently looking for UKA qualified coaches to Level 1 (Coaching Assistant) or Level 2 (Athletic Coach) standard to support and mentor new volunteers to coaching within our club in the Biggar area. Opportunity mainly takes place in Biggar but we also welcome volunteers to our bases in Carluke & Wishaw. We are also looking for volunteers to assist existing club coaches during training sessions, helping with the organisation of the session / athletes / equipment and in due course the club will be happy to pay for committed volunteers to attend a UKA Coaching Assistant course to obtain their coaching licence. Anyone who wishes to progress further can then take the opportunity to advance to the next level, Athletic Coach. Both the Coaching Assistant and Athletic Coach will coach Athletes in Biggar between the ages of 9-15yrs in the basics of running, jumping and throwing. We encourage our members to compete in events held by Scottish Athletics, whether it be track & field, cross country, hill running or road racing and these events can take them and coaches to many places locally and nationally, providing experiences and memories which last a life time.
