The London Borough of Barnet and GLL are committed to providing high quality, affordable leisure facilities to meet the needs of local people. GLL is a not-for-profit social enterprise, which means that any surpluses it might make are reinvested in the services we run.
In the last two years we have already seen a major investment in the leisure centres, with the Council opening the new Barnet Burnt Oak Leisure Centre and our own investment of over £1.7million spent refurbishing Hendon, Finchley Lido and Barnet Copthall. While the physical redevelopments continue, we are working hard to improve the day to day quality of service, having reached Quest (quality standard) accreditation at the three main centres and Investors in People accreditation across our workforce. The results of these efforts can be seen in the increasing visits, number of new members and customer satisfaction scores (97% overall satisfaction).
On a final positive note, we are delighted that Barnet Burnt Oak Leisure Centre has been recognised through the Inclusive Fitness Initiative accreditation (IFI) as a beacon of excellence in catering for people with disabilities.
The leisure centres in Barnet offer some great facilities and with the forthcoming developments planned, we are certain that we can play our part in helping you to get healthy and fit while making sure you have fun.
