💬 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.

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.

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. 🌱

At 11am on this Remembrance Sunday we will be observing a two-minute silence to honour all those who have served and sacrificed in times of war and conflict.

Thank you.

💙 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. 💙
