“As well as this, our sites host their new Healthy Hearts Community Hubs which sees them working with individuals with high blood pressure and coronary heart disease to enhance their education and improve their health outcomes.”

“It has been an exciting year delivering for those we serve.” John Fletcher concluded. “The success we have had means we were able to take over the management and operation of Belper Leisure Centre Ltd. in Derbyshire, replacing the company members and Trustees with new appointments.”

The charity-run Belper Leisure Centre has been an invaluable cornerstone of the local community for nearly 50 years, providing vital leisure and recreational facilities to over 1,500 members, 40 active clubs and several local primary schools.

“Over the last twelve months we have also have acquired Hickory Dickory Playhouse’s which are now part of our Berzerk Active Play brand. They are two leading Active-Play centres in the heart of the Midlands that provide adventure play, go karts, holiday activities and more for families in the local community.”

Trilogy has set out its belief and promotion of the active play environment which stimulates brain function, development and physical literacy, as a place where children build skills and traits such as confidence, resilience, self-esteem, independence and where they develop gross motor development and fine motor development skills.
