Howard Lake | 7 February 2013 | News
David Lloyd Leisure has chosen Together for Short Lives as the group’s official national charity partner for 2013. For the first time, the decision was made by staff and members of the health, sports and leisure group. They nominated and then voted on a shortlist of charities.
Together for Short Lives is the only national charity working across the UK to help ensure that every child and young person unlikely to reach adulthood because of life-threatening and life-limiting conditions and all those who support, love and care for them, get the best possible help whenever and wherever they need it.
David Lloyd Leisure’s chief executive, Scott Lloyd, commented: "Children and families are at the core of David Lloyd Leisure’s offering and it is very appropriate that we will be supporting Together for Short Lives, a remarkable charity that’s making a real difference to so many. We look forward to involving our clubs, colleagues and members in a variety of fundraising and awareness initiatives to support this very special cause."
