Tell us: has your local UK leisure centre closed?

Experts have warned that grassroots facilities and clubs are facing the ‘final straw’ without greater support amid the ongoing energy crisis

Dozens of leisure centres, pools and gyms in the UK are at risk of closure due to the energy crisis, while hundreds of grassroots clubs and youth centres have seen their revenue fall in the last quarter.

We would like to speak to people in the UK who have seen their local pool or leisure centre shut, or greatly reduce its services, in recent months. What did the centre offer you, and what has its loss meant to you? Have you found an alternative?

We are also interested in speaking with people who are facing the closure of a sports centre in coming months.
