Equating to £8 billion in direct net savings to the healthcare system through illness prevention, reducing pressure on the NHS.

Our favourite time of the year is our Walk Leader Celebration day. 💚
A walk, lunch & thank you just doesn't seem enough for these lovely people! Without volunteers we couldn't do what we do, they are amazing & we are lucky to have them #volunteers #Community #Teamwork #walks @

It's for anyone wanting exercise (no experience needed) or who want to get back to tennis. Court space is reduced, softer balls and two bounces allowed. Great fun
What a great volunteer fayre! Amazing to meet so many wonderful volunteers & partners. Big thanks to our fab community instructor Wendy delivering free yoga sessions 💚 #health #activekindness #wellbeing #volunteer @CommLeisureUK @LEDleisure

Today’s #BigSwimDay is about having fun and sharing your passion for the pool. But there’s also a serious message. Half of UK community swimming pools face closure or cuts amid crippling energy costs within SIX months. Full story >> bit.ly/3xMMiqL

This is an important news story being covered across the BBC today.
We're working with @CommLeisureUK to promote #BigSwimDay this Friday, part of the #SaveOurPools campaign which aims to raise awareness of the situation leisure centres across the UK find themselves in.
It was an honour to receive the Special Recognition Team award at the recent @LEDleisure Team Awards evening 💚💙💜
We love what we do and we couldn't do it without our fab instructors and volunteers!!! Looking forward to what 2023 has in store! #Health #Wellbeing
