Hinckley Leisure Centre receives over £100,000 from Government’s Swimming Pool Support Fund

The money will be used to improve the Centre’s energy efficiency.

A Government investment of £120,000 is going to contribute to a project for solar panels at Hinckley Leisure Centre.

The Swimming Pool Support Fund has received partner funding from Sport England, but the £120,000 secured for Hinckley Leisure Centre is directly from the Government by way of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
 
Dr Luke Evans, Member of Parliament for Bosworth, said “The Hinckley Leisure Centre is a fantastic facility and has been enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities since it opened in Argents Mead in 2016.
 
“So I’m delighted the Government is investing £120,000 to improve the Centre’s energy efficiency, which will keep running costs down and give more people the opportunity to access the mental and physical benefits that come with exercise, all while reducing our environmental impact.
 
“This funding brings Government investment in sports facilities in our area over £1,300,000 since 2021, but more importantly, it is providing the facilities we so badly need in our area for people of all ages to take up a new sport, or continue to build and compete as their skills improve. We have seen local investment in football, tennis, rugby and now swimming, and I am so pleased we are starting to reach our sporting potential.
 
“If you are a club or community organisation looking for further funding, do get in contact with me (via email at luke.evans.mp@parliament.uk) as I often hear of grants which are available and I’m always here to help!”
