Organisational Structure

Pendle Leisure Trust is the major provider of sport, arts, entertainment and health and community programmes throughout Pendle

The Trust is responsible for operating three leisure centres, a spa, golf course, athletics and fitness centre, a theatre and an arts, culture and enterprise centre. 

It is governed by a Board of 16 Trustees who have been selected from customers, staff, professional local residents and elected members representing the three main political parties. They are committed to driving the Trust forward and ensuring that its aims are achieved and reviewed regularly in line with the organisation’s corporate business plan and strategic objectives linked to local, regional and, where appropriate, national strategies. 

The Trust’s management structure (Finance, HR, Marketing, Development, Administration and Training Sections) is responsible for policy direction and facilitating the day-to-day operation of facilities and the implementation of community based programmes and initiatives.

The Trust aims:-

• To continually look towards improving leisure in the community of Pendle and surrounding areas
• To build on the partnership arrangements between the Trust and Pendle Borough Council to the mutual benefit of the shared community
• To be recognised by all the community as an organisation that truly puts people first, regardless of their background
• To be financially stable and to provide value for money services under a ‘not for profit’ framework
• To develop staff to enable them to recognise the importance of quality service provision for the community
