Providing affordable leisure opportunities for the community of East Bergholt and surrounding parishes
Introduction
E.B.S.C. opened in July 1997 after the Gymnasium, Fitness Studio, Reception and Community changing rooms were constructed with funding obtained from various agencies including the National Lottery Sports Fund. The Sports hall predates the opening of the sports centre.
It is a dual-use Sports Centre, used predominantly by the High School during the day and the local community, evenings and weekends. There are two exceptions: Monday and Thursday the Fitness Studio is open from 8am - 1pm and there is a daytime 50+ class on Mondays. When the school breaks, the Sports Centre hosts or runs daytime activities for children.
In 2005 the Centre gained accreditation from the English Federation of Disability Sport's Inclusive Fitness Initiative. To gain accreditiation, a Centre must be accessible for all disabilities, should have equipment that both disabled and non-disabled can use and have disabled friendly policies.
The Centre has SAFE accreditation, it's policies and training in relation to children are annually examined by SAFE Child to give families the confidence that the safeguarding of children is given a high priority.
