CHAIR'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Over411. there has been a stron8 perforn)ance during ihe year maintaining patronage in excess of 1.6 million. an iiicrease of
300,000 on pre-covid levels. with a stabilisation of the enrolees on the Learn to Swim pro8ramm¢ and H¢alih and Fitness
memberships. Financially however ihe h4s be¢n exlrcmely challenging endeavouring to "balance the books" against ih¢
pressures of th¢ in¢r¢asin8 Costs of supplies, uliliiies. salaries and wages that tould not have been envi.8aged when the revised
rinanciul forecasl was agreed during the Covid pandemic. Moving forward some of (his pressure should be eased with ihe solar
panels Installed al FatT)WOrth Leisure C¢nlre with the support of funding frorn Sport England.
The Council is in the process of tendering for an operator for the leisure cenlres for a new len-y¢gr term so as we enteT the final
y¢ar of our i¢nur¢ it is peihaps an appropri&le lime lo r¢flfft on the last Iwo decades of OUT partnership wilh the Council #nd
our man&8in8 agenl, Suco L¢l3U￿.
Th¢ tw¢nly plus y¢ars can certainly bc described as a "gom¢ of livo halves" The Trust came into being As a vehicle for the
Council lo se¢uTe h pnv&i¢ sector Oprralor io invest inro an Ageing focility 8tock, lo bring In a moTe profession)1 gnd
commercial approach lo 11$, leisure operation, the majoriry of which comprised of dual u$e centres used by secondary schools
during curriculurn lim¢ but op¢n to the public in the evenings. weekends and school holidays. The parthership wilh S¢rro
achi¢vcd Lis initial airn wiih Investm¢nt secured, albeii in reallty insurriclent to properly address the ageln¥ and Inappropriate
facility mix.
The changes in Ihe educalion s¢¢tor willi ihe inlroduclioii of Academies and financial pr¢ssur¢s facing Ihe Council in th¢ mid
2010's brought the ihree partners logeiher to undertak¢ a slrat¢8ic review of leisure provision in Bolion which rcsulicd in a
bold and cl)allcn¥in¥ pTop05al for Il?L rnlionalisalion of ¢xislin¥ facililies and new investment. Three of the fomler dual usc
cenlres became new build g¢ademies with Ihc sponsors iaking responsibility for facilitatin8 cornmunity use. Whilsi the impact
of the opening of the Jason Kenny C¢nlre at Bolton One together with a planned but bold invcslmcnl of over £20 million
a¢ross four other facililies Jusiified supporting five other schools taking back ihe management of their own leisure facili11￿.
Tlie Inveslmenl wos sttured through a combination of fundinB commitmenls from the Council, Trust Teserves and external
funding bids 10 Sport England and oiher bodies. The resuli has been a lotal and successful IransfoTrnalion of Ihe leisure
facilities available in Ihe Borough, 8¢08raphically located as besi as possible to ensur¢ maximum acce4.sibility for Bolion's
residents, The old eyesore of the ¢oncTei¢ mulii storey car park at Hotwich has been replaced with a n¢w c¢ntre and more
recenily a n¢w healil) hub consirucied adjacent. Ai Westhoughton, new fitness facilities are available Ihrou8hout the day rath¢r
Iliaii ai limes rcsiricied by s¢hool use and spaces within LeveThulme have been r¢puq)05¢d to keep up with modern trends and
dcm&nd for leisurc. The healih and filncss offer at Bolton On¢ was rem¢)delled io include sauna and steam fa¢ilili¢5, and
Famworfh hlls been both fully refurbished and extended to satisfy Ihe denund from the local ¢ornmuniiy.
This has INly been 4 memorable journey and one that l and my Board OrTn￿le¢S are extrefflely proud lo have been part of.
I would asain like to thank Trustees, officer5 of th¢ Trust. Bolion Council, Serco and all lh¢ operational slaff for their
