Service men and women in Southwark are being invited to get active for free in celebration of Armed Forces Day.
Everyone Active is offering members of the Armed Forces complimentary access to its leisure centres in the area on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 June. The goodwill gesture marks Armed Forces Day, which takes place on Saturday 26 June.
During this week, all those who have and continue to serve in the Armed Forces will be granted free-of-charge access to the gym and public swimming sessions at Camberwell Leisure Centre, Dulwich Leisure Centre, The Castle Centre, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, Seven Islands Leisure Centre and Surrey Docks Fitness and Watersports Centre.
There are currently more than 198,000 UK Service Personnel. Armed Forces Day is an opportunity for the nation to show their support for these service men and women and their families, as well as veterans and reservists.
Mark Basker, Everyone Active’s contract manager, said: “We’re determined to support the people in our local community, including service men and women.
“This initiative helps us to show our appreciation for the work they do. Whether it’s a work out in the gym, a few leisurely lengths of the pool or spending quality times with their loved ones during our family fun swims, we hope they are able to take advantage of the wealth of activities we offer.”
