Havant and Waterlooville leisure trust to provide free gym membership to those who donate Easter egg for children's unit at Queen Alexandra Hospital

The Horizon Leisure Trust, which runs leisure centres in Havant and Waterlooville, is running a scheme that will provide new members with a free month’s membership when they donate an Easter egg.

The trust is offering anyone who signs up for a new annual membership before Monday, April 11 and brings in an Easter egg to add to the donation pot a month on them.

Colleagues from both centres will then donate the total amount of eggs to the Children’s Assessment Unit at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham.

It is to mark the launch of its new membership packages, as well as to give back to the community – something that Horizon is very passionate about doing.

New chief executive, Mike Lyons said: ‘Here at Horizon we’re massively community-focussed and are constantly looking at ways to give back to the community wherever we can, and children are especially deserving of that.

‘Some children may be feeling down and alone if they are spending time at hospital and some may not even get an Easter egg at all, so it made sense to us to do our bit to give them something to look forward to this Easer. It’s a no-brainer for anyone who wants to get fit, healthy and give back to the community while saving some money.’

The new memberships allow families and couples to save more money by signing up to an annual membership together, lowering the price but still allowing them to access all of the facilities, including its award-winning gyms, swimming pools, fitness classes and crèches at both centres.
