Freedom Leisure is the largest provider of community leisure in Sussex.[1]
Freedom Leisure is a not for profit organisation with a strong company ethos on providing value for money. The company does this by reinvesting surpluses back into the centres to ensure this happens. Freedom Leisure recently took over management of the Mid Sussex Leisure Centres in Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and East Grinstead[2] and now manage the K2 Centre in Crawley.
