WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
We are a not-for-profit leisure and cultural social enterprise which means a business run on charitable lines, which is dedicated to improving the lives of its customers.
Our ethos means any trading surpluses do not line the pockets of shareholders (we have none) but are reinvested in the service - removing barriers to participation, developing our staff and investing in grassroots sports development.
Since 1993 we have been able to re-invest over £100m back into our facilities and services. We exist to get more people more active more often – and hope you will join us at our open weekend to do just that.
