The Management Committee
The running of Haltwhistle Swimming & Leisure Centre is
overseen by a Management Committee made up of representatives of
various local organizations and groups. We meet on a regular
basis (usually monthly) to discuss matters arising from the
running of the centre and are given management and financial
reports by our manager. As a registered charity
we also have to submit our annual accounts to The Charity
Commission for approval. We receive annual operational funding
support from both Tynedale District Council and Haltwhistle Town
Council - it is a sad fact of life that centres such as ours
rarely make an operating profit as we strive to strike a balance
between providing a service affordable to as many of our
residents as possible and operating a balanced budget - so we
continue to be grateful of the support from both our local
councils as well as the prudent budgeting of our manager and
staff.
Our management meetings are also attended by Mrs L Turner (Chief
Leisure & Tourism Officer, Tynedale Council) & Mr J Maude
(Chief Executive, Leisure Tynedale) as advisors to the committee
- their presence & input has proved to be invaluable on many
occasions.
