We’re delighted to publish jogscotland’s new strategy for 2024-2027, Keep Moving Forward.
For over 20 years jogscotland has trailblazed by providing a local community health and wellbeing programme that excels at getting people active, and keeping them active.
Over 500 jogscotland sessions are delivered each week across Scotland by over 300 Jog Groups in 31 local authorities.
The award-winning programme has pioneered a number of initiatives designed to support runners in their journey, including the ‘I’m Here’ campaign for mental health, menopause friendly jog groups, Mums on the Run programme to support new mothers returning to exercise and the jogworks programme to encourage health and wellbeing in the workplace.
We are grateful for our continued partnership with Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH), which has been crucial to the development of this strategy and our ability to maintain the jogscotland programme over the past 8 years.
The new strategy will focus on improving and developing members’ experiences through education, a thriving network, strong partnerships and innovative research.
scottishathletics CEO, Colin Hutchison, said:
“We believe the potential of jogscotland is still to be realised and this ambitious strategy sets out a clear programme for its growth and development,
“Jog Leaders and jogscotland groups remain at the very heart of what we do. Through listening to their needs, supporting and encouraging them, we will work collectively with all stakeholders to delivery this strategy, realise the programme’s potential and provide the stability and ambition that will secure jogscotland‘s future for the next 20 years.”
Robert Nesbitt, Head of Physical Activity and Sport at SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health), said:
“Physical activity plays an important part in supporting our mental health and jogscotland makes a fantastic contribution to encouraging and facilitating active living throughout Scotland.
“We’re delighted to continue our valuable partnership with jogscotland and excited to support them in their implementation of this new and ambitious strategy.”
