Everyone at Active Lincolnshire is saddened to hear that two leisure facilities in Lincoln that were operated by Active Nation (Yarborough Leisure Centre and Birchwood) have closed their doors. These facilities provide an immensely valuable service to local people who used the centres to be active in a variety of ways, as well as to meet friends and connect with other people. Our thoughts are with the employees, freelance instructors, coaches and the clubs and groups who hired space for their training sessions.

As the local active partnership that supports the physical activity sector to provide opportunities for more people to be active, we are committed to supporting anyone who has been affected by the closures.

We encourage people to use the Let’s Move Lincolnshire Activity Finder at www.LetsMoveLincolnshire.com to discover other facilities, sessions and outdoor spaces that communities can use to be active.

Our social media pages are helpful resources for finding ongoing information. We also ask local activity providers, facilities, and gyms to connect with us so that we can help promote your activities as part of a united community support effort.

We continue to remain in close contact with the City of Lincoln council and other stakeholders and are committed to supporting everyone during this difficult time.
