Operator partners with Community Leisure Trust to boost scheme

REGISTERED charity Fusion Lifestyle has been successful in bidding for support from the Sport England funded ‘Active Kindness’ programme, in partnership with the Community Leisure Trust – one of only 10 trusts to benefit from this grant.

The ‘Active Kindness’ scheme is designed to re-energise volunteering opportunities in the leisure industry and will enable Fusion to increase its nationwide volunteer programme through 2023.

Anthony Cawley, CEO of Fusion, said: “We are hugely proud of our volunteer programme, which we know delivers huge benefits to both the participants and to our leisure centres. We are delighted to be able to extend our volunteer programme and look forward to welcoming new volunteers into our business.”

Following recent research by the Community Leisure Trust, the programme seeks to promote new ways of thinking about the volunteering model that is more reflective of our current lifestyles: focussing on new roles, maximising flexibility and visibility, embracing diversity and maximum volunteer satisfaction.
