Local Government Lawyer

Delivering leisure facilities in a post-covid world

The pandemic has introduced new hurdles in the provision of local authority led leisure services. Peter Ware, Catherine Rustomji and Alex Kynoch look at the different options available to councils, including establishing a charity.

The route that is often chosen for authorities struggling to provide leisure services is the establishment of a leisure trust but what does that practically mean for local authorities and what do they need to be aware of from a charity law perspective?

This session will look at:

  • The local authority considerations and in particular give practical guidance on the implications of being a registered charity
  • What that means for the local authority, the trustees and trusts themselves.
