Learning to swim is a life saving skill! We’re proud to be part of a sector teaching people of all ages (babies to adults) this important skill.

Todays seriously social topic is employment so we wanted to highlight what it's like to be a swimming teacher with Halo Leisure and all the questions that might come with that! Remember, you can always check out our current vacancies at https://haloleisure.org.uk/careers/

Halo Careers Working at Halo Leisure is not like working for a commercial gym or sports centre.

People who are socially excluded or face barriers to participation, including poverty, disability or geography often have poorer health outcomes.

Halo Leisure are committed to tackling this disparity and have done so by implementing our FREDIE initiative to address these issues both as an employer and as a leisure provider. https://seriouslysocial.org.uk/

Involving and empowering communities is at the front of our thinking. We are a bunch. You can come into any of our venues at any time and receive a warm welcome – whether it’s to join an activity or just have a chat.

Todays theme is "The Community" so we wanted to highlight a wonderful community that we work with, the NHS! Launched in the summer of 2021 as a partnership between Halo Leisure and the Wye Valley NHS Trust (WVT), this intervention and prevention initiative aims to put workplace wellbeing and employees health and happiness truly on the agenda. Initially the WVT had considered employing a full time member of staff to deliver physical activities for staff. When approached by Halo Leisure, the Chief People Officer for WVT could see the benefits of working with a local provider with considerably more depth and breadth of resources to draw on.

The programme aims to support improved health and wellbeing of 3,600 staff in very direct ways. The menu of activities delivered onsite and in Halo’s centres across the county aim to engage with every individual and was developed to improve health in its widest sense: physical and mental. This includes one to one advice and guidance from a Halo fitness professional who has a physical presence in the hospital staff canteen, free body composition readings, discounted membership to Halo Leisure, wellbeing weeks, group exercise classes, free family activities in the pool, racket sports and access to Halo@HOME online workouts.

Check out our blog post at the link below to see how four dedicated NHS employees have harnessed the power of wellness, uniting colleagues through their ingenious initiative: the Wednesday lunchtime walking group!

Good health and wellbeing are fundamental to the quality of our lives; and a healthier lifestyle increases life expectancy. That’s why we’ve developed so many programmes to support you in achieving a healthier, happier life. Today we are focusing on our Feel Good For Life programme in Herefordshire and Bridgend County.

Here at Halo we know it is easy to get stuck indoors and can be hard to get out, get moving and to meet new people. We also know that those hurdles are huge if you’re caring for family, or living with dementia, feeling low, lonely or at a loose end right now. So we’re inviting you - one and all - to join us to Wind Down and Work Out through a new series of fabulous, friendly, fun Feel Good For Life get togethers on our award winning programme.
