Graduating with a degree in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Portsmouth, Charlie found himself facing a tough graduate job market. Despite years of hard work, breaking into the leisure industry required more than just theoretical knowledge, it demanded practical, industry-standard qualifications and real-world experience.

To bridge this gap, Charlie joined Mytime Active as a Recreational Assistant through an 18-month paid apprenticeship at The Spa in Beckenham. Combining operational experience like lifeguarding with structured study through training provider SCL Education Group, the pathway allows him to earn fully funded professional qualifications while gaining hands-on workplace experience.

Charlie shares: “Most of my friends that completed degrees this summer are struggling to find work, even just temporary part-time jobs. I feel fortunate to have this apprenticeship. While my degree provided strong theoretical knowledge, vocational qualifications significantly improve graduate employability and streamline the pathway into a job."

Now equipped with his RLSS Lifeguard qualification and working across multiple operational departments, Charlie is building a versatile skill set with plans to pursue personal training and leisure management roles. Charlie says: “In today’s world it’s difficult to have a dream or an end destination, but I’m really enjoying being part of the team at Mytime Active, and who knows what this is the start of.”

We are absolutely thrilled that Ann Wilbourn, our Primetime Manager, has been named a finalist in Community Leisure’s Seriously Social 2026 awards for ‘Outstanding Employee of the Year’.

Ann left her desk job over 40 years ago to follow her passion for dance and fitness, and she has never looked back. This well-deserved recognition celebrates a lifelong career dedicated to promoting physical activity and building strong communities.

Although Ann loved dancing as a child, she initially chose a safe path working as a secretary. However, her passion for dance never faded, leading her to leave office life behind to study at the London College of Dance and Drama. After gaining her qualifications, she taught at various dance schools across South East London before opening the Ann Dunn School of Dance.

When the aerobics craze hit in the early 1980s – think bright leotards and leg warmers – Ann was among the first to earn professional fitness qualifications, seamlessly transitioning her career from dance into fitness.

For the last 18 years, Ann has been the driving force behind Mytime Active’s over-60s Primetime programme, expanding it from just 79 members to nearly 4,000.

“Music and dance are in my soul,” says Ann. “I’m now teaching my own peer group, playing everything from Rock ’n’ Roll to swing for people who came of age in the 50s, 60s and 70s. I’ve witnessed the incredible power of music for people living with dementia, watching eyes light up with recognition and joy even when other memories fade.”

What started as exercise classes has become a community and a family. Ann knows her members’ stories, their struggles and their celebrations.

Since 2008, our Primetime programme has offered recreational activities, events, sports, dance and fitness classes for the over-60s. Designed to help people move more, socialise and make new friends, Primetime continues to make a positive difference in people’s lives.

For 21 years, Mytime Active has proudly coordinated Team Bromley’s participation in the London Youth Games, working alongside schools, clubs and volunteers to transform young lives through sport.

There is no better example of that impact than Joe Dobb.

Now Centre Manager at Mytime Active’s Orpington Golf Centre, Joe’s connection to the London Youth Games began years ago as a young athlete swimming for the London Borough of Croydon. The atmosphere felt like his very own Olympics, an experience so meaningful it inspired him to give back as an adult.

Today, alongside his management role at Mytime Active, Joe volunteers as the Aquatics Competition Director for the Games, ensuring thousands of young swimmers have the same inclusive, inspiring experience he had as a teenager.

The London Youth Games is not just about finding the next elite athlete; it’s about using community sport to build confidence and nurture a love for staying active.
