Swim, Gym, & Cuppa Monthly Social Event

Bipolar Edinburgh is part of the Edinburgh Leisure Community Access Programme and offers discounted access through our Swim, Gym, & Cuppa monthly social event. The activities are held in various leisure centres throughout Edinburgh and we meet for a cuppa and chat in a nearby cafe afterwards.


Our volunteer facilitators host the event monthly throughout the year. Facilitators can bring up to five people along to each session to access the facilities for FREE! Bipolar Edinburgh covers the cost of the event and those who attend simply pay the discounted rate of £2 up front and will be reimbursed after.


Group members can apply for an individual pass to access the facilities for £1 per session. Volunteer facilitators can refer group members for an individual CAP card after they have attended two sessions. The card allows the same discounted access and is valid for 12 months. Individuals can only be referred once. You can visit the Edinburgh Leisure website for more information about their Community Access Program.


The Swim, Gym, & Cuppa event is a great opportunity to enjoy some easy physical activity (no squats or weightlifting required we promise!) and find support and community with others living with bipolar.
