🎉 Fun Fact Friday – Did you know that GLL is a charitable social enterprise?

💚 Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that Walker Activity Dome is operated by Better, part of GLL – a charitable social enterprise?
That means when you visit us for a Table Tennis, Squash, Football Match, Badminton or community event, you're helping support local communities too.
Rather than paying profits to shareholders, any surplus is reinvested into:
✅ Improving facilities
✅ Supporting community programmes
✅ Helping more people get active
✅ Investing in staff and services
So every visit really does make a difference.
Thank you for supporting your local community! 💚

💡Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know?👀

Walker Activity Dome first opened its doors in November 1965 and was originally known as the Lightfoot Sports Centre. At the time, its impressive "flying saucer" dome was the largest of its kind in Europe!😀

Nearly 60 years later, it's still bringing the community together for sports, fitness and events.

How long have you been visiting the Dome? Let us know in the comments!👇

Reminder that we have a Seniors session on every Tuesday as part of the Newcastle East Seniors Club!
