Sports & Leisure Management Ltd (SLM), trading as Everyone Active, will deliver significant investment and improved facilities across West Northamptonshire following their new appointment to operate Council-run centres in Northampton and Daventry for the next 10 years.
Awarded after an extensive competitive procurement process, the new service will enhance local leisure provision, improve quality and deliver better value for residents. It will come into effect on 1 April 2026, covering Daventry Leisure Centre, Daventry Sports Park, Moulton Leisure Centre, Danes Camp Leisure Centre, Mounts Baths and Lings Forum Leisure Centre.
The agreement will unlock a comprehensive programme of modernisation and refurbishment, creating high-quality, accessible and welcoming spaces that support healthier, more active lifestyles.
This investment forms a key part of West Northamptonshire Council’s (WNC) long-term commitment to boosting health and wellbeing, increasing participation in physical activity, and ensuring leisure facilities continue to meet local need. Towcester Centre for Leisure and Brackley Leisure Centre will continue to be operated by Legacy Leisure under an existing contract which runs until 2034.
Everyone Active – who currently operate Daventry Leisure Centre, Daventry Sports Park and Moulton Leisure Centre – will take on management of the Northampton centres from Trilogy Active.
Everyone Active are now working closely with the Council to deliver their three-month mobilisation plan. During the mobilisation, both organisations will be asking for the support and cooperation of Trilogy Active to ensure a smooth, seamless transition for customers and colleagues to the new contract. It is hoped that with all parties working together during this transitional period, all of the existing facilities and activities will be available from 1 April 2026.
Everyone Active and the Council are committed to ensuring the ongoing leisure provision to local communities and the colleagues across the new contract, and will be providing further updates to colleagues, members, partners and users as soon as possible.
Simon Fearn, Everyone Active’s regional contract manager, said: “Everyone Active has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with West Northamptonshire Council which has gone from strength to strength. We are extremely proud to have secured the new contract and are looking forward to working with all our current and new customers for many years to come.”
