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.

“I give stuff a try more now.” - Freddie

From first lessons to first jumps, Freddie’s confidence grew with every moment in the pool.

With teacher Rob cheering him on, Freddie learned new skills, trusted himself more, and even took the leap into the pool for the first time. 💙

Freddie’s journey is proof that with support, patience and encouragement, people can achieve things they never thought possible.

Swimming isn’t just about learning a life skill - it’s about building confidence beyond the water.

It’s International Learn to Swim Week 💙

This week, we’re supporting the teachers and students who make swimming lessons more than just learning strokes.

Thiago’s journey shows how confidence grows when students feel supported, challenged and have fun. With teacher Altaire guiding him, he’s not only becoming a better swimmer but also gaining self-belief and skills that last a lifetime.

From playful games to mastering new techniques, every lesson is about growth, connection, and pride in achievement.
