Freedom Leisure was thrilled to host The Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson DBE at its National Conference recently. The conference served as a platform to highlight the exceptional efforts undertaken by the organisation and its colleague teams across the regions they serve at promoting community health and wellbeing, and to celebrate the individual achievements by the leisure and cultural venues at its annual awards ceremony.
With a steadfast commitment to improving lives through leisure within local communities, Freedom Leisure has consistently demonstrated dedication to its mission. The National Conference showcased the impactful work achieved in collaboration with local authorities and other client partners.
Attendees were also involved in insightful discussions, engaging presentations, and collaborative workshops focused on innovative strategies to further support community health and wellbeing initiatives. Speakers from within the organisation shared their insights and best practices, offering valuable perspectives on the evolving landscape of the leisure sector and the notable contribution from The Baroness Grey-Thompson DBE who provided an inspirational keynote speech at the awards dinner where she also thanked Freedom Leisure for its contribution to the sector and the real impact of providing positive change to people’s lives through physical activity.
We are immensely proud of the incredible work our colleague teams undertake day in and day out to promote health and wellbeing within the communities we serve. The National Conference provides us with an opportunity to come together, celebrate our successes, and explore new avenues to further enrich the lives of individuals and families and to chart a course for an even brighter future in fostering community health and wellbeing.
