Active Northumberland is a charitable trust, which means we exist for community benefit and any surplus money we make is put back into our services with support from our key partner, Northumberland County Council. We manage facilities and services and promote healthy lifestyles. We have a board of trustees that is made up of local representatives from across the county. Our commitment is to improve health and well-being across Northumberland and our vision is to be the best community leisure and wellness provider in the UK.
Our Services
We manage all leisure facilities on behalf of Northumberland County Council, including fitness centres, community sites and beach facilities. We also provide a large sports development service to deliver activity sessions to children and young people, and to support local sports clubs and community groups.
Active Northumberland is committed to helping people make healthy lifestyle choices, offering expertise and experience. We support the development of all physical activity across the county. Our leisure facilities encourage a physical lifestyle, and our GP referral scheme is nationally recognised.
