Shining Stars Programme
The Council is committed to policies which support social inclusion and recognises disability as one of the major barriers to equality of opportunity. The Council is also committed to increase participation in physical activity by children and young people. The "Shining Stars" programme offers a range of activities designed for children with or affected by disabilities aged 4 to 15 years. A full programme of activities will be held during school holidays at Easter, summer and October.
Swimming lessons are also available throughout the year which are run by the Sports Development Unit and held in the Play Drome and Vale of Leven Swimming Pool.

Neighbourhood Fitness Centres
Cosmopolitan Neighbourhood Fitness Centres are funded by the Scottish Executive’s Better Neighbourhood Services Fund and operated by West Dunbartonshire Council’s Leisure Services Section.
The fund enables local authorities and their community planning partners to improve access to new and enhanced services, particularly for young people and residents from most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
For more information visit the Neighbourhood Fitness Centres web page.
