Horizon Impact Report 2025/26 | Healthier, Happier Communities

At Horizon Leisure, our purpose goes far beyond providing gyms, swimming pools and fitness classes. As a charitable trust, every decision we make is driven by our mission to inspire healthier, happier communities.

Over the last year, we have continued to invest in facilities, develop new programmes and strengthen partnerships that support people of all ages and abilities. From helping local residents become more active, to supporting NHS pathways, improving access to swimming lessons, investing in young people and expanding inclusive opportunities, our focus remains firmly on creating positive change within the communities we serve.

Our 2025/26 Impact Report highlights the difference these efforts have made. It showcases the stories, statistics and outcomes behind our work, demonstrating how Horizon continues to reinvest in local people and places while delivering meaningful social value. Last year alone, our centres welcomed more than 1.3 million visits and generated £10.8 million in social value for our communities.
