Community Team

Swale Community Leisure has a developed community team, who work with a wide range of partners to engage and positively impact individuals throughout the Boroughs of Swale, Maidstone, Gravesham and surrounding areas.

The community team is multi-disciplinary and regularly deliver outreach activities in community locations that target hard to reach communities. The team also work with local community groups and organisations to provide opportunities and develop projects which allow those who may find it difficult to access their local leisure facilities and services, to do just that.

"Provision of leisure services, and physical activity, have long been recognised to contribute to people's health & well-being.

Since Covid, the need for such activity, that addresses not just physical fitness, but mental health and even issues such as raising employment aspirations, has increased dramatically.

We are proud to work to address such issues and are always open to more opportunities to positively impact the local community "

Understanding SIV (Social Impact Value) Calculation

Have you ever wondered how the impact of physical activity on the national economy is measured? SIV (Social Impact Value) is a monetary value assigned to the social and economic benefits of physical activity.

To calculate SIV, we use NICE guidelines which assign a value to Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY). Physical activity is a major contributory factor to QALY, which allows us to calculate the value of physical activity and SIV.

By understanding SIV, we can better measure the impact of physical activity on our community.
