Wokingham Borough Council – Case Study

1. WBC has 3 successful leisure centres operated by 1Life with nearly a million annual customer visits. Thus with facilities over-subscribed what more could We do?

2. Bulmershe Leisure Centre, which was a tired 1970’s building, was added to the leisure management contrcat what value could We add?

3. WBC also faces budget constraints and is trying to tackle health & wellbeing with a borough-wide strategy, so what could We contribute?

1Life and WBC agreed a £2.2 million investment package for all sitesIn 2 months we’ve implemented a total transformation
