Friendly Faces
We're here to help!
Embedded Files
Walking into a new sports centre, gym or activity for the first time can sometimes feel a little daunting, especially if you're not sure where to go or who to ask for help.
There are lots of friendly faces across Sport & Active Wellness who are here to help you feel welcome, answer your questions and make it easier to get involved.
We've introduced some of the people you're most likely to meet below, along with what they can help you with. You don't need to know exactly who you need to speak to – just ask any member of our team and we'll help point you in the right direction.
