We know that keeping fit and healthy is important for mental health and that leisure centres are fantastic places for local communities. That's why we've helped to secure funding for Parklands Leisure Centre in Okehampton.

They have received £38,500 from the Swimming Pool Support Fund to help improve their energy efficiency.

The funding will pay for pool covers and a variable speed filtration system.

The works at the centre will make it more resilient for the years ahead, ensuring this important community pool will continue to improve community wellbeing and serve the people of West Devon for years to come.
