About us

We’ve been a part of local community transformation through social enterprise for more than three decades.

Social value at the heart of what we do

Our impact extends beyond traditional leisure services to encompass public health, education and cultural engagement. Through strategic partnerships with local authorities, NHS England, and national organisations, we’ve pioneered evidence-based approaches that deliver measurable social value while maintaining financial sustainability. For over 30 years, we have sought to challenge ‘the norm’ and to show how values-driven, social entrepreneurship can work effectively with government, health professionals, sport and library leaders.

This balanced method has enabled us to reinvest over £110 million in public services since we began – in everything from enhancing facilities and widening accessibility to driving positive community impact.
