Better

We're part of GLL, the charitable Social Enterprise. It could be gyms, libraries, playgrounds; even huge, world-class venues such as those on the Olympic Park.

Our purpose: to improve the physical, mental and social wellbeing of local communities

Move, play, learn and experience with Better. We promote healthy and active lifestyles, giving communities access to facilities that help improve their health and happiness through participation in activities. We offer a great variety. But we also provide more than access. As a charitable social enterprise, we

invest in our communities. And it’s not just money: we also invest time and effort in encouraging everyone to take advantage of our services. Any surplus money is reinvested into making those services even better, either by training our people or upgrading our facilities.

🏊Pools across the country were buzzing as a record-breaking 1,362 challenges took place for the 40th Swimathon and it was all thanks to swimmers like you.

Whether you took on 500m, pushed yourself to a 5k, or even tackled the Triple 5k, every length you swam made a real difference. Teams jumped in too, supporting each other through 1.5k, 2.5k and 5k challenges.

Together, you’ve helped raise vital funds and awareness for Cancer Research UK, Marie Curie UK and Swimathon - supporting people and communities across the UK.

Whether you swam, cheered or supported - tell us about it 👇
