Role filled at health project

A NEW co-ordinator for a project aimed at improving health through physical activity in older people has been appointed.

Sarah Dempster will take up the role in the East Lothian's Ageing Well scheme, which has been running since 2002.

Jointly funded by NHS Lothian and East Lothian Council, the project offers the chance to try walking, dancing, swimming, gardening and gentle exercise.

Cllr Ruth Currie, cabinet member for community wellbeing, said: "I am delighted to welcome Sarah to East Lothian."
