About us

As well as being one of the UK’s leading leisure centre and event operators, BH Live is a registered charity and social enterprise.

Our charitable purpose is to generate:

• More participation – through the provision of leisure facilities to encourage active communities, improved health, and wellbeing

• Higher audiences – through the provision of a diverse range of cultural and artistic events that appeal to a wide audience

• Greater economic and social benefit – through hosting major conferences, exhibitions, and events for the benefit of the local, regional, and international economies and people

We are making a positive difference across the communities we serve.

Our reach spans across Portsmouth, Croydon and the BCP region. We host hundreds of events a year; sell more than half a million cultural, and entertainment tickets; clock up millions of leisure centre visits, and welcome thousands of conference and exhibition delegates. As well as promoting community health and wellbeing, this generates millions of pounds in economic benefit for the local economy through business and cultural tourism.

As a social enterprise, we don’t pay dividends to shareholders. Every pound we make is used to run our business and generate a surplus to reinvest and enhance our centres and facilities for public benefit.

Our award-winning leisure centres are nationally accredited too.

We are recognised as a leading leisure centre operator within UK industry standards, offering a number of classes, gym and swim facilities that have been developed with our communities at heart. With TAS (The Active Standard), and Quest certifications across our centres, we are industry leaders on health and safety compliance, professional standards, safeguarding measures, customer service and data protection.

We’re BH Live, and we make things happen.
