  • Transforming your traditional leisure services into an active wellbeing service
  • Delivering better value for money through existing partnerships
  • Reimagining your services and facilities
  • Exploring management options or the Agency Model

We can help.

Based around the original Strategic Outcomes Planning Guidance that we authored for Sport England, we’ve developed a focused, pragmatic and effective approach to identifying what your next steps should be.

This focuses on defining the real issues and identifying the things you will need to address first.

We’ve successfully used this approach with over 25 Councils including Sheffield, Bristol, Stockport, Stirling and Tameside.

Gritty, ambiguous and complex issues are tackled head on with a clear roadmap of how to move forwards.

Through a rapid, focused and insightful diagnostic exercise, we quickly get to the heart of the issues you are facing and draw out a range of potential next steps for you to consider.

We’ll even write the brief / specification and help you identify a sensible budget if you need specialist external help.

Get clarity, build momentum, and take full control of what comes next.

“From inception to completion, I can’t speak highly enough of the whole team at SLC. At every stage of the process, I was offered balanced and sound advice, tailored specifically to the needs of my individual report, rather than an “off-the-shelf” piece of work. The level of support and turnaround time was exceptional, and the quality of the final report was first-class. The team’s deep understanding of the industry and best practices was evident in their professionalism and the advice they provided. They demonstrated an excellent grasp of the journey that not only Stoke-on-Trent Leisure and Wellbeing services need to undertake but also the broader industry’s challenges and opportunities. In addition to their expertise, the team at SLC was friendly and welcoming, making the entire experience a pleasure to work with them.”

“SLC delivered an excellent diagnostic project for South Gloucestershire Council, combining a well-structured and engaging approach with a high-quality final report. The team consistently went above and beyond the original time commitment, demonstrating a strong commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Their ability to build rapport with stakeholders, facilitate collaboration, and steer the project effectively was instrumental in encouraging partners to work together towards a common goal. Throughout the project, SLC were accessible, responsive, and struck the right balance between leading the process and adapting to our needs. I would have no hesitation in recommending SLC to colleagues and would gladly work with them again.”
