to national and international competition. Better also runs family fun days at its lidos, trampoline parks and watersport centres. As a charitable leisure social enterprise, GLL reinvests a proportion of its operating surpluses into grassroots sports development, concessions and impactful programmes through the Foundation. GSF patron and Olympic champion, Sally Gunnell OBE, said: “It’s a fantastic achievement for the GLL Sport Foundation to have provided 63 Olympic athletes with support through their journey to Tokyo 2020. “It’s a testament to the hard work athletes put in each day and highlights the impact the support of programmes such as this can have.” ● ● More: www.gll.org
