Our Purpose
To make a positive difference to communities by creating opportunities for everyone to get active, stay active and achieve more.

Our Vision
Inspiring Edinburgh to be a more active and healthy city. (Goal: 5 million customer visits by 2015/16)

Our Values
Edinburgh Leisure will make a positive difference by being:

• Welcoming 
• Caring
• Passionate 
• Proud

Improving customer service is top of our agenda so we aim to do our very best to support you to started, stay active, achieve more and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. This is why we recruit and retain the best staff. And we make sure that they’re happy with us (and healthy too). Because happy, healthy, customer focussed staff and satisfied customers is a perfect combo. Yes sir. It’s what we’re all about.

With 32 venues and the largest coaching programme in Edinburgh with a range of days and times to suit all, we’re hands down the most flexible leisure provider in the region. But what makes us even more flexible is that we have teams devoted to outreach activities, which take Edinburgh Leisure to you, instead of you coming to us. So make sure you watch out for Edinburgh Leisure initiatives in your local shopping centre, primary school or office!

Our strategy is all about moving forward to reach our vision. It’s the name of our game. That’s why we’ve developed links with local communities and have hooked up with the City of Edinburgh Council, NHS Lothian, and sportscotland who all share our objective of wanting to make Edinburgh a more active city. We say hooray to that.
