Thermo Fisher Scientific Support Swim Lessons
Fife Sports and Leisure Trust is a charitable organisation dedicated to improving the well-being of the local community. The Trust manages 14 venues across Fife, offering high-quality and affordable recreational opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. The organization provides a wide range of programs, from gym sessions and group fitness classes to a comprehensive Learn to Swim program.
In addition to its facilities and programs, the Trust actively seeks donations and partnerships to support its initiatives. A key example is its effort to secure funding and equipment for the Learn to Swim program, which benefits over 8,000 children weekly. This support ensures that all children, regardless of their family's financial situation, have access to essential items like swimwear and goggles, helping them have a positive and successful experience in the program. Through its work, Fife Sports and Leisure Trust creates significant social value by promoting physical activity and fostering an inclusive community environment.
Fulfilling their commitment to local engagement and leveraging their contract with the University of Edinburgh, Thermo Fisher Scientific actively sought out and provided support to a local project and selected Fife Leisure Trust based on the work they do to help instill this lifeskill and confidence in to all the young people they work with.
Thermo Fisher Scientific recently made a financial contribution towards the great work that Fife Sports and Leisure do, which went towards supporting 50 children from low-income backgrounds who are part of their Learn to Swim program with essential goggles, ensuring no child's learning is hindered by a lack of equipment.
This donation has helped over 50 families from local SIMD areas reduce the cost of equipment for their child to participate in the Learn to Swim programme. The addition of goggles for our young learners has made a tremendous impact on their learning journey and reduced the cost for families.
