We are turning 30
CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF GLL
Join us for an exciting weekend of activities at your local leisure centre where we celebrate 30 years of GLL’s passion and purpose across the UK. Bring your friends and family along to join us on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd July 2023 for some discounted activities.
Activities at Bath Sports and Leisure Centre will include:
- £3.30 Swimming sessions
- £3.30 Soft play sessions
- £3.30 Ten-pin bowling sessions
- £3.30 Trampoline Park sessions
Sessions will be bookable as normal, and we would suggest using the Better UK app.
We'll also be fundraising for Dorothy House by riding one of our spin bikes near reception for 30 hours over the week, with staff and customers able to take part for hour long contributions.
Founded in 1993, GLL is now the UK’s largest public leisure and libraries co-operative and charitable social enterprise and has a clear mission to improve the physical, mental and social health of local communities. In 2022, GLL’s activities raised £390m in social value in local communities, independently audited and measured across a series of indicators including health and wellbeing.
GLL runs services under the ‘Better’ brand and is demonstrably successful in getting people more physically active – with over 50m customer visits each year. Tackling health inequalities helps GLL support the NHS and local authority health and social agendas.
GLL is also a catalyst for the local economy - providing employment and training opportunities in libraries, children’s centres and leisure centres.
What make us different?
We are a not-for-profit leisure and cultural social enterprise which means a business run on charitable lines, which is dedicated to improving the lives of its customers.
Our ethos means any trading surpluses do not line the pockets of corporate fat cats or dividend-earning shareholders (we have none) but are reinvested in the service - removing barriers to participation, developing our staff and investing in grassroots sports development.
Since 1993 we have been able to re-invest over £100m back into our facilities and services.
