Empowering All: Perth Strathtay Harriers - Our outstanding Club of the Month for July.

For July's Club of the Month award, we headed north to spend time with Perth Strathtay Harriers. An inclusive athletics club in the fast lane of para athletics delivery. Every month, we at Every Body Moves take immense pride in shining a spotlight on extraordinary clubs that embody the spirit of community, passion, and inclusion. This July, we are thrilled to announce Perth Strathtay Harriers as our Club of the Month!

The Harriers' commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment has made them a beacon of excellence in the athletic community.

Ailie Davidson Coach mentioned "For the younger children who come into our groups, it's really good for them to see people with a variety of different needs. They're part of this club, they're part of what the community is here. It helps them to recognise that everybody is somebody."

Their comprehensive training programmes are designed to cater to all levels, ensuring that each member can achieve their personal best.

Community at its Heart

What sets Perth Strathtay Harriers apart is their unwavering commitment to the community. They regularly host events, competitions, and training sessions that bring people together, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support. This community spirit was on full display when we spent the day filming with them, showcasing the vibrant energy and passion that runs through the club.

Jim Hunter President and Inclusion Coach Rep described how "We put the athlete at the centre of what we're doing and then we just construct a session around it. No different from mainstream athletics, yet supported often with that extra helping hand along the way."

The Harriers' ethos is rooted in the belief that every achievement, big or small, deserves to be celebrated. Whether it's a new personal best, a milestone run, or the joy of completing a training session, Perth Strathtay Harriers ensures that every member's journey is recognized and applauded.
