Imagine a place where laughter echoes through the halls, where families bond over shared activities, where friends come together to stay active and healthy, and where the heartbeat of our community grows stronger each day. This vision isn't just a dream; it's the future we're striving to create by reopening the beloved Gateshead Leisure Centre. And we need your support to turn this dream into a reality.
Our Story: In November 2022, a group of dedicated local residents came together in response to the heartbreaking news of the potential closure of Gateshead Leisure Centre. We realised that the heart and soul of our community was at stake, a place that had played a pivotal role in countless lives. Thus, Gateshead Active was born – a registered not-for-profit charity driven by a profound commitment to the health and well-being of our community.
The Power of Unity: We are not just a group; we are a movement fueled by love and a shared purpose. We've pooled our collective energy, dedicating countless hours to bring back the vibrant heart of our community. But we can't do it alone. We need each and every one of you to stand with us and breathe life into this vision.
Our Bold Mission: Our goal is monumental – to achieve the most significant Community Asset Transfer in history. We're working tirelessly to expedite this process, minimising the time our Centre remains closed. We know that every day counts, and we're committed to restoring the heartbeat of our community at the earliest opportunity.
Your Impact: We understand that times can be tough, and every penny matters. Your contribution, no matter how small, is a powerful testament to your belief in the strength of community and the value of shared spaces. Every donation will directly contribute to our marketing efforts, legal processes, and staffing expenses – all of which are essential to reopening our cherished Gateshead Leisure Centre.
A Vision of Renewal: With your generous support, we're not just reopening a leisure centre; we're breathing life into a hub of joy, connection, and growth. Imagine a place where all ages can partake in fitness activities, from affordable fitness facilities to invigorating swimming sessions. Imagine children's laughter resonating through a revamped soft play area, and the thrill of indoor football and basketball matches bringing us together in spirited competition. Imagine a welcoming café where friendships are nurtured over a cup of coffee.
Join Our Journey: Let's create a legacy together. Stand by our side as we embark on this incredible journey of revival. Your contribution, whether it's a small gesture or a more substantial investment, will shape the future of our community. Together, we'll turn the pages of history and make sure that Gateshead Leisure Centre thrives once again.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for being a part of this inspiring venture. Your support means the world to us, and we can't wait to welcome you back to the new and improved Gateshead Leisure Centre.
With gratitude and excitement,
Team Gateshead Active
