just do more
About us
We aim to deliver vibrant, customer focused leisure centres alongside community healthy lifestyle programmes from which we can offer behaviour change opportunities to help people take charge of achieving and maintaining better health, and build crucial social connections.
Just a great bunch of people, here to do our best for our community so that collectively, we can all achieve more.
Our four leisure centres are home to a range of leisure activities suitable for all ages, because we believe everyone should be given the opportunity to enjoy moving more.
Leisure services play a key role in meeting the council’s corporate priorities, with particular emphasis on supporting ambitions in sport and physical activity, health
improvement, social inclusion, regeneration and community safety.
The overarching aim of the service is to raise the level of participation in sport, leisure, active recreation and social interaction through offering quality leisure facilities and services that are equally accessible to all.
Over £29m has been invested in our leisure facilities over recent years. A key improvement has been our commitment to carbon reduction through funded projects at Dronfield and Eckington. As a result, Eckington has seen a 66% reduction in carbon emissions and Dronfield is now 100% electric.
In addition to the above, leisure services make a considerable contribution to helping resolve important national and local issues, such as:
- Encouraging a healthier lifestyle and sense of wellbeing
- Raising aspirations
- Tackling social isolation
- Providing opportunities for voluntary and community activity
- Reducing crime & ASB
- Learning and education
- Stronger and safer communities
- County and Planning Association (20-minute neighbourhoods)
- Playing pitch strategies
- Community engagement
- Co-location of services
- Supporting economic development
Core Values
- Be honest and accountable
- Treat everyone fairly and with respect
- Listen, involve and respond
- Embrace change and innovation
- Be collaborative, open and transparent
- Care for the environment
Just a place that cares for the environment
Here at our leisure centres we are here to help you just do more to hit your goals, feel stronger, happier and healthier.
Because we love to see you thrive, we have a lot on offer – flexible memberships to suit you, friendly supportive staff, and a huge variety of classes.
Following the North East Derbyshire Council’s commitment towards greener and better District, we recognised that we too can do more for the environment, community and for the future.
We would like to present you our Sustainability Policy for leisure centres, laying out our approach to eco-friendly practices, so you can feel relaxed that your goals are being achieved with little help from us without compromising the future of our planet.
Just a great place to work
Our leisure service offers a multitude of roles from head attendants to healthy lifestyles instructors. Just the right kind of people working together to help you do more with your career.
