Funded by Morrisons Foundation, this is a welcoming space for everyone to connect, move, and talk — bringing families and the community together in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Family Connect is funded by the Morrisons Foundation, and through this support we aim to bring families together to enjoy wellbeing-focused and active time, including badminton, arts and crafts, and much more. Thanks to the Morrisons Foundation, we’re able to offer Family Connect and create positive, shared experiences for our local community.

It’s more than just being active — it’s a space to connect, laugh, and unwind. Grab a cuppa, have a chat, and take a moment to relax while children enjoy the Creative Corner or play in the multi-sports area. Meanwhile, adults can get competitive on the badminton courts, with 3 courts available to enjoy.

Family Connect is free for all families, so bring your little ones and enjoy an hour and a half of active, relaxed time together. There’s no coaching — the space is yours to explore, unwind, and enjoy at your own pace. Our friendly volunteers will be on hand whenever needed, whether it’s for a bit of support, guidance, or simply someone to talk to.

Save time and head straight into the action by booking online through our easy-to-use system. Alternatively, you can register at the centre using a paper form if you prefer. To help us keep sessions safe and well organised, please make sure everyone attending and participating is fully registered, and only book sessions that you are able to attend.

Step onto the court and enjoy a fun, active badminton session designed to get you moving, laughing, and feeling great. With 3 courts available, there’s plenty of space to play, rally, and stay active in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Take a moment to sit down, relax, and socialise with a brew. It’s not all about being active — our dedicated Family Connect space offers a welcoming place to chat, unwind, and enjoy light refreshments and tea while spending time together.

Perfect for little ones to get creative through drawing and hands-on activities like bracelet making and more. Activities will change weekly, giving children something new to enjoy each time while exploring their creativity in a fun and relaxed setting.

Not interested in badminton? No problem! Head over to our Multi-Sport Space, where you can enjoy basketball, target games, mini football, and a range of other activities designed to keep you moving, active, and engaged in a fun, inclusive environment.
