Sporta is the national association which represents leisure and cultural trusts. Sporta members operate a wide range of leisure and cultural services in communities across the UK - from the Shetland Isles to Cornwall and from the Western Highlands to Kent. Together they provide 30% of public leisure centres in the UK. The facilities and activities which they deliver in partnership with local authorities support many kinds of physical activity, sports and community cultural services. Many facilities are open 7 days a week from early in the morning until late at night. The trusts are committed to being as accessible and affordable as possible for everyone and many operate in deprived communities. They support public policy objectives including public health and community cohesion.

Want to join sporta? Sporta membership is open to non-profit distributing organisations, primarily but not exclusively those that manage cultural and leisure facilities.

We are a friendly network spread across the whole of the UK, with regular meetings at regional as well as national levels.
