💬 Sometimes, all it takes is a simple hello to make a big difference.

We’re delighted to announce our new national partnership with The Chatty Café Scheme, bringing dedicated Chatty Tables to more than 35 Everyone Active centres across the UK! ❤️

The initiative will create welcoming spaces where people can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, strike up a conversation and build meaningful connections within their local communities.

With friendly volunteer hosts helping to bring the tables to life, the aim is simple: to tackle loneliness, encourage friendships and make sure everyone feels welcome and connected.

And the impact speaks for itself. An independent evaluation by Coventry University found that up to:

💬 96% of Chatty Café users felt less lonely.
🤝 70% made new friendships.
❤️ 80% reported improved confidence.

Jules Twells, National Inclusion & Wellbeing Manager at Everyone Active, said:

“Leisure centres are about much more than exercise. They are places where people come together every day, and we want to make sure everyone feels welcome and has the opportunity to build connections.”

At Everyone Active, we believe being active is about so much more than physical activity. It's about feeling connected, supported and part of something.

Meet Edwin – a powerful reminder that taking the first step can change more than just your physical health 💙

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, Edwin took up exercise and discovered just how much it can support both his physical and mental wellbeing. 💪

Since then, he’s gradually built up his gym visits at Mid Suffolk Leisure Centre, at the centre provides much more to keep you living well. But Edwin’s story goes beyond exercise.

By sharing his experience and speaking openly about his diagnosis, he hopes to encourage others to do the same and remind them that they’re not alone.

“If standing up and talking out loud to people helps at least just one other man, then yeah, I’m still doing good for people.” 🗨️

Edwin is a powerful reminder that looking after ourselves means caring for both our minds and bodies, and that taking the first step can make a real difference.

Because it’s never too late to make a positive change, find your strength and inspire others along the way. 💙

Wellbeing is contagious. And little eyes are always watching. 👀❤️

Children don't just listen to what we tell them, they learn from what we do.

From seeing us make time for movement, prioritise a good night's sleep and enjoy nutritious food, to watching how we manage our emotions, connect with others and take time for ourselves.

The little things we do every day can have a bigger impact than we realise.

Because building healthy habits isn't just about what we teach the next generation, it's about the example we set.

Let's make wellbeing something we share, inspire and pass on. 🌱

This month is Mens Mental Health Awareness Month, the perfect time for men to get talking about what's on their mind. Studies show working out can significantly help men's mental health by reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, lowering stress hormones, and boosting mood-regulating brain chemicals like endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine.

Throughout this month, we're encouraging our members to head on into our centre with their friends, enjoy a workout together and get talking about about what's weighing on their shoulders at the moment.

The MORE Leisure app has arrived! 📱Our
brand-new MORE Leisure app is now available for you to download 👉
www.morefitness.app

If you use our EGYM equipment you will still need to use our
current My MORE app for accessing our EGYM kit, tracking your workouts, health
goals and using other fitness features, which are all provided by EGYM.

When the current app comes to an end on 30th November,
you’ll then need to download EGYM’s free EGYM Fitness app on 1st December for
all of your EGYM activity going forward. Don’t worry, all of your activity data
will pull across seamlessly and you’ll access their app with club code
MORELEISURE from 1st December.

Your login for the new app will be exactly the same as our
current app because it uses the same membership system, but if you do run into
any problems logging in, there's a reset password option on the app login
screen or you can reset your password by tapping https://morefitness.legendonlineservices.co.uk/enterprise/account/resetpassword

Before you login, if you have never accessed your membership
online or used our app, you may still need to register for a free online
account. You can do that by visiting https://morefitness.legendonlineservices.co.uk/enterprise/account/login
and following the "Create Your Online Account" steps on the
right-hand side.

Our current My MORE app has been extended until 30th
November to help give our members a smooth transition to our new app, but we'd
absolutely love you to join us on our new app as soon as possible.

We hope you'll love our new MORE Leisure app and if you have
any questions about our app or your membership, please do speak to our friendly

💙 A world-first for inclusive swimming at London Aquatics Centre.

London Aquatics Centre has become the only venue in the world to have three PoolPod 3.0 systems under one roof, with one permanently installed at each of its three pools. 🏊

The specialist systems allow wheelchair users and people with mobility needs to independently lower themselves into and rise out of the water, making swimming more accessible and visits easier to plan.

And for families like Amelia Bull’s, that means so much more than pool access.

12-year-old Amelia is a full-time wheelchair user who attends the centre’s dedicated SEND swimming sessions alongside her three siblings. Before discovering the PoolPod, finding a suitable swimming facility where she could safely get in and out of the water had been a challenge for her family.

Now, the PoolPod allows Amelia to enter the water gradually, at a pace that works for her, so she can enjoy swimming alongside her siblings.

💬 Her mum said: “Since attending the SEND swimming sessions at London Aquatics Centre, we’ve finally been able to swim together as a family. That has been incredibly special for us.”

With between 20 and 30 customers using the PoolPods every day, having a dedicated system at each pool means accessible entry is available wherever customers choose to swim, without needing to move equipment between pools.

Chris Wells, Everyone Active Contract Manager at London Aquatics Centre, said the investment was a significant step forward for accessibility and would help ensure the venue’s Olympic and Paralympic legacy continues to benefit as many people as possible.

Because everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy the water. 💙

💬 "It's one of the best things I've done with my children and now my grandchild."

Did you know that more than 8 in 10 parents say swimming with their children makes them feel closer as a family?

Time spent in the water isn't just about learning a life skill. It's about sharing experiences, building confidence and having fun together. 💙
