Everyone Active - SLM 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗛𝗦 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 We’re pleased to launch our partnership with NHS England as its newest body awareness partner. Together we’ll be helping our members to learn more about some of the key signs and symptoms of cancer. The new partnership signage is now in place across all of our leisure facilities. Jacqui Tillman, Aquatics and Wellbeing Director & Chief Executive of SLM Community Leisure Charitable Trust, said: “We are proud to support NHS England in raising awareness of the early signs and symptoms of cancer. As our leisure centres sit at the heart of local communities, we wanted to share these important health reminders with both our customers and colleagues. “In addition to this partnership, we also work closely with our charity partner, Breast Cancer Now, to raise vital funds and help them support those affected by breast cancer.” Dame Cally Palmer, National Director for Cancer at NHS England, said: “With over 230 leisure centres across the country, it’s fantastic that Everyone Active is partnering with the NHS to help improve body awareness and detect cancer earlier. This partnership builds on our work with supermarkets and health facilities to introduce important body awareness reminders in changing rooms, bathrooms and on clothing labels.” Finding cancer early can make it more treatable and can saves lives.

We’re delighted to support and share insights from Everyone Active - SLM at the industry leading ukactive Active Uprising 2025. As part of today’s panel discussion on Breaking the Bottleneck: creating the framework for a long-term career in leisure. Our Group Development Director, Ben Beevers, shared his thoughts: “What people really value is having a purpose. Seeing what difference they can make to their local community. Our industry is in a very powerful position because we directly make a difference to local communities. Giving people the opportunity to be a part of that and thrive is unique and where we should be focusing our efforts as an industry.” “The working environment is key. Our colleagues need to feel like they’re making a difference and feel like they’re a part of driving something forward. Our focus is on what is the next opportunity for our employees. What training and support can we offer them to encourage their development and how can we take care of them during that process.”

At the heart of our organisation lies the dedication and passion of our colleagues. Each and every one of them plays a pivotal role in shaping the experiences of our communities. So when we set them a social challenge to come up with ways to engage the local communities, we love to see what they deliver. Watch below for the latest inspiration! There are so many reasons to love your local Everyone Active centre. Whether it's learn to swim, grab a coffee, relax in the spa, or smash a gym session, there’s something for everyone.
