On 1 September 2024, we will take over the operation of the leisure centres in Selby and Tadcaster. These centres will be the first to operate under Active North Yorkshire.
The move is the first stage of our plan to bring all our leisure services in-house, which includes over 20 leisure centres and swimming pools. Active North Yorkshire will be focused on supporting everyone in the community to be active, with an increased focus on improving physical and mental health.
Under Active North Yorkshire our leisure centres will become active wellbeing hubs. Customers can still access all the current activities, but there will be additional targeted activities, for example to support people managing long term health conditions. There will also be more locally based activities and services and increased support for community based sport.
From September, our Zest and Craven sites will also begin using the new name. Brimhams Active and the Richmondshire Leisure Trust will join Active North Yorkshire by Spring 2025 and the leisure centres in the former Ryedale and Scarborough areas will come on board in 2027.
We would like to assure you that we aim to keep service disruption to a minimum. Your membership and the activities and services available at your local centre will continue as usual and will be keeping you updated regularly.
