Our geographical reach spans across multiple venues, leisure centres and attractions across Portsmouth, Southampton, Croydon and the BCP region with millions of visits per year.
Our organisational and charitable purpose is to generate:
- More participation – through the provision of leisure facilities to encourage active communities, improved health, and wellbeing
- Higher audiences – through the provision of a diverse range of cultural and artistic events that appeal to a wide audience
- Greater economic and social benefit – through hosting major conferences, exhibitions, and events for the benefit of the local, regional, and international economies and people
Our organisation is changing lives – placing us at the heart of the UK’s growing social economy. We host hundreds of events a year; sell more than half a million cultural, and entertainment tickets; clock up millions of leisure centre visits, and welcome thousands of conference and exhibition delegates. As well as promoting community health and wellbeing, this generates millions of pounds in economic benefit for the local economy through business and cultural tourism.
As a social enterprise, we don’t pay dividends to shareholders. Every pound we make is used to run our business and generate a surplus to reinvest and enhance our centres and facilities for public benefit.
