GLL is the charitable social enterprise that runs your local Better leisure facilities. And we’re not just any leisure company. We’re a charitable social enterprise, that exists for the benefit of everyone in your community. We do all of this in partnership with Newham London, and unlike the private sector, we don’t take profit to pay dividends to shareholders. As a not–for-profit charitable social enterprise, every penny of profit we make is reinvested back into community projects, refurbishing our facilities and bringing you brand new state of the art equipment. We pride ourselves on providing high quality leisure and fitness facilities at affordable prices, so everyone in Newham can enjoy the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle. In recognition of our achievements, we’re very proud to be the first leisure operator in the UK to be awarded the prestigious Social Enterprise Mark and the Prime Minister’s Big Society Award. On top of this, we all know 2012 is going to be a very big year for the world of sport, and we’re delighted to play our part in delivering the legacy for London as the operator chosen to run the Aquatics Centre and Multi-Use Arena after the Games. Whilst we make every effort to ensure all the information in your leisure guide is up to date, sometimes details can be subject to last minute changes. For all our up to date information, please speak to a member of staff, or visit our website at, www.better.org.uk From me and all my team, I’d like to thank you for your custom and hope you enjoy using your Better leisure centre in 2012 and beyond. Introduction – councillor statement With the Olympic Park right here in Newham, what more inspiration could you need to get involved in sport. We have a shared vision to make Newham a place where people choose to live, work and stay. We stand by our commitment to bring value for money, high quality sport and facilities, and to prioritise the things that residents value the most. Building a community which is inclusive and fair for everyone is central to our plans for the future and we believe in providing the best opportunities for residents to get active, stay fit and healthy and to try new things. Be inspired by the 2012 Games to make the most of our excellent gym facilities and try all sorts of activities at our four leisure centres including swimming, exercise classes, fencing, karate, basketball, athletics and much more. We will also continue to provide free swims for under 16s and over 60s. A wide range of sports clubs also provide opportunities for everyone to get active. You can also take advantage of Newham’s parks and open spaces, so why not head down to your local park to try the trim trails and outdoor gyms or simply enjoy a relaxing stroll. Whether young or old, novice or experienced, Newham offers something for everyone.
