Community Leisure UK is a member-led association that uses the power of its collective membership to represent, promote and protect the trust model at a national level.

An association that actively reaches out to the leisure and cultural sector, large and small, strengthening the collective voice

Member Trust

Equally as specialists in charities and charitable organisations delivering public leisure services, Community Leisure UK provides an instant network of like-minded peers

It is more of a ‘movement’ which brings together like minded people and organisations who are more than profit and who really want to involve and give back to local communities
