Rosehall High School Case Study

It's not a bolt-on

The key points to this case study are:

• social inclusion
• physical activity
• capacity building.

The Healthy Lifestyle project based at Rosehall High School in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, promotes positive healthy lifestyles to primary and secondary pupils, parents and residents in the south Coatbridge area.

The overall aim of the project is to create health programmes that can contribute to longer-term health gains within the community, particularly addressing cardiovascular disease, cancer and strokes.

This case study looks at the use of a youth rugby initiative to promote improved health behaviour and crime reduction, and to develop emotional well-being.
