The Denis Law Legacy Trust is a Scottish registered charity (SC 043169) that currently delivers a number of free-to-access doorstep activities and programmes across Aberdeen City; helping young people take part in and gain access to sport and other creative activities within their local communities.
We break down barriers to young people becoming more active and all our programmes are completely free of charge in the communities that need them the most.
The overall aim of our activities is to reduce instances of youth crime and anti-social behaviour; promote health and wellbeing and encourage inclusivity through sport, physical activity and creative endeavour.
