About Us
Following extensive consultation in 2006 the London Borough of Redbridge agreed to transfer Fullwell Cross Leisure Centre, Ilford Pools, Cricklefields Athletic Ground and Ashton Playing Fields to a charitable leisure trust. The new company began operating in April 2007 under the name Vision - Redbridge Culture & Leisure. Since the enforced closure of Ilford Pools in September 2008, Fairlop Waters, Redbridge Cycling Centre and Wanstead Leisure Centre have been successfully transferred to Vision RC&L and we also deliver an Exercise on Referral Scheme in partnership with the Redbridge Primary Care Trust.
The idea of delivering leisure services through the form of a charitable trust has been successfully put into practice in many other local authorities in order to sustain and develop the service.
The company is overseen by a Board of Director Trustees including 7 Community representatives, a staff representative and 2 local Councillors. The company is led by Keith Newton - Managing Director and Liz Petyt - Operations Manager who oversees the work of the Centre Managers for each Vision managed facility. Before joining Vision, Keith had worked in the leisure industry for over 30 years including 5 years as Director of Sport and Leisure for a charitable leisure trust in West London.
