About Basingstoke Sports Trust (Better)
We exist to make community services and spaces better for everyone. That means providing access to quality community leisure and fitness facilities - and more - at a price everyone can afford.
We’re a charitable social enterprise, which means we work for the benefit of everyone: the public, the communities we work in, the environment, our staff and our partners.
As a worker-owned charitable social enterprise, it’s no surprise that people sit at the heart of our business.
GLL is now almost 29 years old and we’re as excited about the future today, as we were back in 1993.
At GLL we don't just run Leisure Centres, Swimming Pools or Lido's or Gyms, we provide for the whole community running Libraries, Theatre's, Children's Centres, Playgrounds, Nurseries and so much more. All of which we run in our charitable, community focused way.
We believe our values and purpose have never been more relevant and hope we can continue to make a difference in as many communities as possible across the UK.
