A CELEBRATION held to mark the 50th anniversary of Hoyland Leisure Centre has raised over £1,300 for Weston Park Cancer Charity.
The day included a 70s-themed aerobics class, gymnastics display, cake sale and a 500km bike challenge.
Facility Manager Jon McCool said: “We had an amazing day of celebrations, which really marked the occasion. Hoyland Leisure Centre’s 50th Anniversary Raises £1,300 for Weston Park Cancer Charity
“A big thank you to our staff for all their hard work on the day and to our customers who really got into the spirit of the 70s theme and involved in everything we had going on at the event.

We’re thrilled to announce key investments at Dorothy Hyman Sports Centre, including the installation of a brand-new gym.
This state-of-the-art facility will feature top-of-the-line equipment from Technogym including brand new studio cycling bikes, along with the introduction of a BOX 12 pod. These improvements will create a gym that the community can be proud of.
Additionally, the centre will undergo a full rebranding, with new branded signage and digital screens being installed.
Looking ahead, we’re also excited to share that two new studios are set to open in early 2025. These will expand our group exercise program and provide even more opportunities for community activities.
Key Dates to Remember:
Important Information for Members:
During the gym closure (12th November – 29th November), members will be able to use all BPL sites by showing their membership card at the respective site.
The group exercise timetable will continue as usual throughout the refurbishment period.
BPL has been shortlisted for two awards at the 2024 ukactive Awards – including Chief Executive Michael Hirst in the Outstanding Individual Leadership category.
The ukactive Awards recognise excellence in the physical activity sector, with entries received from organisations, operators and suppliers of all sizes from across the industry.
Having worked for BPL for 20 years, Michael was appointed Chief Executive in early 2023 and has led from the front during a pivotal time, which has included the launch of a new 2030 organisational strategy.
Michael’s also spearheaded major cultural change, overseeing the appointment of a new senior leadership team and Employee Value Proposition and the creation of BPL’s own CRM system.
He said: “I’m blown away to be announced as a finalist for the Outstanding Individual Leadership Award, alongside some of our industry’s finest leaders.
“Thank you to BPL’s trustees and colleagues who nominated me for this award.”
BPL’s marketing team has also been shortlisted for the third year running in the Marketing Campaign Award and are hoping for success again after winning this award in 2022 and being Highly Commended last year.
Michael added: “I’m also delighted that BPL has been nominated once again this year for the Marketing Campaign Award.
“We’re looking forward to enjoying a great night at the awards ceremony in Birmingham.”
The winners of the ukactive Awards will be announced on October 3.
A CAMPAIGN to promote the importance of water safety has reached nearly 20,000 kids across Barnsley and Bassetlaw.
BPL has been delivering Swim England’s Swim Safe campaign for the last 8 years; going into local schools across the communities we serve to educate young people about the importance of staying safe in the water.
This year, the team has delivered more sessions than ever before – reaching over 12,500 children in Barnsley and over 6,800 in Bassetlaw.
Development Manager at BPL Simon Ferrarelli said: “With over 230 water-related fatalities in the UK last year, it’s important as a charitable trust with the expertise of delivering safe water activities to ensure our local communities understand how to be safe around water.
“The campaign has been really good this year. We’ve been able to reinforce how to stay safe around the water in the summer months to nearly 20,000 pupils.”
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 18th, as Your Space clubs open their doors to offer a range of exciting free activities to celebrate National Fitness Day 2024.
Set to be the most dynamic day of the year for fitness enthusiasts, this event champions the theme “Your Health is for Life,” which has been carried over from 2023 as it holds a powerful message that can resonate with us all. National Fitness Day is no longer about exercising at just that one moment in time but about the longevity in taking small steps towards a lifestyle which can both protect and improve your health.
Taking place on Wednesday September 18th, National Fitness Day 2024 aims to empower participants to embrace lifelong wellness. This year’s edition encourages everyone to explore the vast spectrum of fitness offerings available at Your Space clubs.

Current members have the exclusive opportunity to engage in the NFD (National Fitness Day) challenge via the Your Space app. Moreover, they stand a chance to win a complimentary one-month membership for a friend or family member through a prize draw held at each club.
National Fitness Day is renowned as the United Kingdom’s most active day, having galvanised over 10 million people across the nation to partake in physical activities last year. This year, the aim is to surpass that record and inspire even more individuals to embrace an active lifestyle.

KIDS across Barnsley have been enjoying the benefits of physical activity and healthy eating, thanks to a fun and engaging programme held at several BPL sites – with more sessions planned for the summer holidays.
The government funded holiday activities and food (HAF) programme provides healthy meals and activities to children from low income families during school holidays.
Past HAF sessions which have been delivered at BPL sites included the opportunity to try a variety of sports and activities from swimming to dodgeball, a hot meal at lunchtime, plus fun and educational interactive quizzes and board games.
Following BPL’s success with the programme over the Easter holidays, more sessions are planned for the summer at Dorothy Hyman Sports Centre, Royston and Hoyland Leisure Centres and the Metrodome.
30 HAF places are available at Hoyland Leisure Centre and 25 at the other sites and participants must receive free school meals to qualify for the scheme.
For those who don’t qualify for a free place, paid places are also available at Dorothy Hyman.
BPL’s Community Sports Development Officer Connor Pickles said: “We’ve had such positive feedback from the kids who have attended and their parents, as well as our staff who really enjoy delivering the programme, and we’re looking forward to the start of our summer holiday clubs later this month.
“Sessions like these really put BPL at the forefront of the community, so we can help people feel good and play a leading role in highlighting the benefits of sport, physical activity and healthy lifestyles in a fun and friendly environment.”
