Freedom Leisure awarded leisure partnership by Southend-on-Sea City Council
We are very pleased to announce that we have been chosen as the new provider for leisure services by Southend-on-Sea City Council. The new partnership covers the operation of three leisure centres; Belfairs Swim Centre, Shoeburyness Leisure Centre and Southend Leisure & Tennis Centre.
Freedom Leisure shortlisted in four categories at this year's national Energy Awards
We are extremely proud to announce that we have been chosen as a finalist in no less than four categories in the upcoming Energy Awards 2025 which take place at a gala event in London in July.
Freedom Leisure to include free healthcare benefit for members
In a ground-breaking move, not-for-profit leisure trust Freedom Leisure, will include remote GP access FREE to members from 1st May.
Where other operators have chosen to add these services to a premium membership or offer as a chargeable bolt on, Freedom Leisure will include the service ‘as standard’.
Remote GP access, delivered via HealthHero, will initially roll out in the Guildford and Woking partnerships, with further sites coming on board throughout the year.
