Active Tameside is the area’s first leisure provider to become completely smokefree

Published: 1st July 2019

On 1st September 2019, Active Tameside will be turning all of its centres and premises smokefree, making it the first leisure provider to be completely smokefree in Tameside. The move means that all smoking, including vaping, will not be permitted at any Active Tameside centre or outdoor area, including pitches, courts, side-lines, cars, car parks and all areas within each site’s perimeter.

Chris Rushton, Chief Executive at Active Tameside, said: “We are committed to improving the health of customers and want to distance Active Tameside from a behaviour that harms health and kills.

“Smokefree spaces help to denormalise smoking and protect children and young people from smoking behaviour. We feel that going smokefree is the right step to take and we hope that other sports clubs and facilities in Tameside will do the same.”

Smoking facts:

Active Tameside will be partnering with Be Well Tameside to provide their staff and customers with support and guidance to stop smoking. A Smokefree Policy will also be provided to give customers a clear understanding of what the change means for them. If anyone has any concerns regarding the change, they can email: hello@activetameside.com for more information.

My family experienced the Hyper Bowling last week. My children absolutely loved it and wouldn’t stop talking about it, it was such great fun & good how any age can win. I was impressed by the price and how clean everywhere was…

The staff! I’d still use Active Hyde’s gym if the facilities were rubbish and the price was high. There is always a cheerful person on hand to provide help and advice, both on site and on the phone.

10/10 great facilities and location. Excellent instructors and friendly staff.

Janet

The gym and reception staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to assist… I would highly recommend the gym to anyone who is looking for a friendly, professionally run gym with a great atmosphere that caters to all ages and abilities.

I am grateful to the staff at Tameside Wellness Centre for understanding my difficulties, especially since they are invisible. But believing and supporting and being kind to me has made me more determined to continue with my passion for life and remaining active as best as I can…
