Making a difference
HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
As a not-for-profit, social enterprise, we work for the benefit of everyone; our members, the community, partners and staff.
Our aim is simple – to provide opportunties and inspire people to lead healthier, active lifestyles.
We re-invest any financial surplus we make back into our services and we work with partners to secure funding to enable us to make a difference.
This allows us to deliver a range of health and community programmes, often designed to ease the burden on the NHS and provide opportunties for everyone to be active, healthier and socially connected.
Below are just some of the programmes and initiatives we deliver on behalf of our partners, to help improve lives.
