Councillor Jacqueline Cameron, chair of the Renfrewshi­re Health and Social Care Integratio­n Joint Board, said: “We are committed to ensure we continue to meet the needs of service users and carers who access these services.

“The Scottish Government introducti­on of self- directed support legislatio­n gives people more choice and control than ever over when and where they access social care.” Sports bosses have launched a new exercise toolkit to help folk get back into shape.

The physical activity toolkit was launched to mark the third anniversar­y of the 2014 Commonweal­th Games.

The project contains resources and teaching materials for health and exercise practition­ers to help inactive people become active.

Developed through the Legacy Physical Activity Fund Phase One work, it is being rolled across the country by a group of ambassador­s.

Sports Minister Aileen Campbell said: “I’m delighted to see communitie­s right across Scotland continuing to embrace the Games Legacy and get involved in physical activity.

“We know how important an active lifestyle is not just for our physical health, but our mental wellbeing too.

“I’m really excited to be involved in the launch of this toolkit, which I hope will be a useful resource to help more people and communitie­s get involved in sport or whatever type activity suits them.”
