Everybody Health & Leisure supports The Dome Youth Zone as Strategic Patron

Everybody Health & Leisure is partnering with The Dome Youth Zone as one of their Strategic Patrons, supporting the young people of Crewe to get together, get active and become part of their local community.

Everybody will be delivering gym and sports sessions at The Dome, led by highly qualified sports coaches, giving the young people of Crewe a safe, supportive environment in which they can get moving, build confidence and develop the skills that will help them take care of their physical and mental wellbeing now and in the future.

Thomas Barton, CEO at Everybody Health & Leisure said: “We are so happy to be working with The Dome, and we are proud to be able to contribute to such a fantastic project that will impact the lives of so many young people in Crewe. This, alongside our Crewe Lifestyle Centre, Everybody Crewe West, Cumberland Arena and Queen’s Park Café sites, represents much needed investment into Crewe and marks our ongoing commitment to delivering accessible, high-quality opportunities for activity to people of all ages in the town.”

Stuart Manifould, CEO of the The Dome said: “Everybody Health & Leisure’s support as a Strategic Patron means a huge amount to us. Having highly qualified coaches delivering gym and sports sessions at The Dome will give young people in Crewe another great reason to come through our doors, get active and build their confidence. It’s a brilliant example of local organisations backing local young people and we’re grateful to Thomas and the team for believing in what we’re building.”
