A Charitable Social Enterprise
We're a Charitable Social Enterprise owned by our staff and founded on our purpose and values to provide a different, fairer and better way of doing business. Our purpose is to improve the physical, mental and social wellbeing of local communities.
As the UK’s leading provider of both Leisure Centres and Libraries we operate over 400 locations all helping to make a real difference to local communities and local people.
