Active Expressions is Chest, Heart & Stoke Scotland’s educational fundraising programme, recognised by schools throughout Scotland.
Nursery, Primary & Secondary Schools as far North as Golspie Primary School in Sutherland down to Noblehill Primary School in Dumfries, take part in our sponsored fun, healthy and challenging aerobic activities that get children active, while raising vital funds for Chest, Heat & Stroke Scotland.
During the 2008/09 school year we delivered Active Expressions to 17,144 children!
Once registered schools can choose one of our three Active Expression activities, which will be delivered by a qualified Instructor throughout the course of a school day, to all classes.
