Community leisure facilities worth £3.3bn
A landmark study of the wider social value of public leisure facilities in Britain has shown they contribute more than £3.3bn a year to health, wellbeing, education and reducing crime.
A breakdown of the overall value showed the sector is worth £2.4bn to subjective wellbeing, £715m to health, £123m, to education and £2.4m to reducing crime.
Football has by far the largest social impact on education and crime proportionately, providing the greatest social value per person in both categories ‐ £45 and £0.92 respectively.
Golf and group workouts have the largest social impact per person on health and wellbeing ‐ golf showed £95 in health and £311 in wellbeing; group workouts showed £95 and £321.
Data from over 1.8 million members and casual users across 651 facilities over the past two years was evaluated.
Meeting the challenge
The Amenity Forum is once again organising a series of free Updating Events at venues across the UK
This series of free Updating Events seeks to address topical issues of interest and relevance to all involved in the amenity sector and will comprise short presentations by speakers drawn from the Chemicals Regulation Division of HSE, BASIS
Registration, the National Sprayer Testing Service, STRI, the various host organisations and from the Amenity Forum itself.
They are timed to occupy half a day, normally mornings, and on dates between February and April 2018.
The series has been given the title of ‘Meeting the challenge’ and there will be adequate time for questions and discussion. Whilst the events are free, delegates are required to register in advance.
These have proved extremely popular events in previous years and have been very well received. Locations and dates so far confirmed are as follows:

Professor John Moverley, Independent Chairman of the Forum, said; “We offer these events as a convenient way for those involved in, or with an interest in, amenity to keep updated on current issues. The locations are spread across the UK and we are especially grateful to member organisations for providing venues and our speakers and supporters which make it all possible.”
The Forum has also announced the date for its popular annual conference and exhibition. In 2018 it will be held, once again, at the Pirelli Stadium, Burton upon Trent, on Tuesday, October 9th. The conference will be entitled ‘Change, challenge and opportunity’.
