We are a members’ association dedicated to supporting Charitable Trusts and Social Enterprises who work delivering public leisure and culture.
Our work encompasses supporting members through emerging challenges, networking to share best practice and new opportunities, representing members views at a national level and supporting greater understanding of the Charitable Trust Model for community benefit.
Our members vary in size and shape from those with multiple contracts with local authorities, managing a range of services including libraries, leisure centres and parks to charities operating single sites such as swimming pools.
