Brecon Leisure Centre is in the running for a prestigious UK Active Award.

Managed by Freedom Leisure, a not-for-profit trust that handles centre operations on behalf of Powys Council, the site has been named a finalist in the 'Regional Centre of the Year' category for the 2024 awards.

The leisure centre's offerings include fitness classes, swimming, sports facilities, and wellness programmes.

Acknowledging the importance of this recognition, Ivan Horsfall Turner, chief executive officer of Freedom Leisure, said: "We are incredibly honoured to be recognised as a finalist in the UK Active Awards 2024.

"This nomination reflects the hard work and passion of our entire team, who are committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve."

Richard Church, Powys County Council's cabinet member for a Safer Powys, said: "Being shortlisted for a national award is great news and is no mean feat.

"This is a huge endorsement of our partnership with Freedom Leisure as we work together to improve health equality and wellbeing through physical activity.

"I would like to congratulate Freedom Leisure and all their staff at Brecon Leisure Centre for this fabulous achievement and I wish them all the best at the UK Active Awards ceremony later this year."

Freedom Leisure will also feature in four more categories at the awards, to be held on October 3 in Birmingham, where industry leaders will be recognised for their contributions to the physical activity sector.
