Profile

The purpose of the Kidsgrove Sports Centre Community Group is to operate, maintain, and manage the Kidsgrove Sports Centre for the public benefit. As a registered charity, their mission is to promote community health, well-being, and recreation by providing affordable, accessible leisure facilities. 

The community-driven organisation was established with specific goals and operating principles: 

  • Community-Led Ownership: The charity runs on a not-for-profit model. Every pound spent at the facility is directly reinvested into the centre and the local community.
  • Board of Trustees: The group is led by unpaid, local volunteers who ensure that the strategic direction of the sports centre meets the needs of Kidsgrove and the surrounding areas.
