Governance

The running of Haltwhistle Swimming & Leisure Centre is overseen by a Management Committee made up of representatives of various local organizations and groups. We meet on a regular basis (usually monthly) to discuss matters arising from the running of the centre and are given management and financial reports by our manager. As a registered charity we also have to submit our annual accounts to The Charity Commission for approval.We receive annual operational funding support from both Northumberland County Council and Haltwhistle Town Council - it is a sad fact of life that centres such as ours rarely make an operating profit as we strive to strike a balance between providing a service affordable to as many of our residents as possible and operating a balanced budget - so we continue to be grateful of the support from both our local councils as well as the prudent budgeting of our manager and staff.Our management meetings are also attended by Mrs L Turner (Chief Leisure & Tourism Officer, NorthumberlandCounty Council) & Mr J Maude (Chief Executive, North Country Leisure) as advisors to the committee - their presence & input has proved to be invaluable on many occasions.
