⛳ 72 holes. 24.2 miles. 55,574 steps. One of the hottest days of the year. 🌡️

👏 A huge well done to Ben Stancombe (Service Fitness Manager) and Steve Embleton (Service Membership Manager), who took on an incredible charity golf challenge at Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Golf Club — 4 rounds of golf back-to-back in support of Macmillan Cancer Support and Multi-Story Orchestra. 🎶

Thank you to Natalie Davie-Lane (Leisure Commercial Manager) and Marcus Seoane (Assistant Operations Manager) for putting in a guest appearance, stepping in for one round. 🙌

Members joined throughout the day to show their support, and a special thank you goes to Richard Barnard, Gentleman’s Captain at Dulwich Golf Club, for joining the team for a well-earned lunch. 😋

Together with Dulwich Golf Club members and friends, they raised an incredible £1,371.50 for Macmillan Cancer Support. 🤩

An outstanding achievement and a brilliant show of teamwork and community spirit. Well done to everyone involved. 👏

📌 Postural Power: Thank Your Lats
Slouched over? Laptop posture? Your lats help stabilise your spine and shoulders. They’re essential for upright posture, especially when paired with glutes and core.

📏 Try this test: Stand tall, arms overhead. Feel the stretch? That’s your lats lengthening. Now try a lat pullover or banded stretch to mobilise and strengthen.

🌊 Drowning Prevention Week 🏊‍♂️💙 14

🌊 Drowning Prevention Week 🏊‍♂️💙
14–21 June 2025

This week, we're joining organisations across the UK to raise awareness for Drowning Prevention Week — because knowing how to stay safe around water can save lives.

💧 Did you know drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in the UK?

Whether you're heading to the pool, the docks, or the beach this summer, here are a few simple ways to stay safe:

✅ Always swim in designated areas with a lifeguard on duty
✅ Never swim alone
✅ Teach children about water safety from a young age
✅ Be aware of cold water shock, even in summer
✅ If you find yourself in trouble, remember Float to Live — lean back, use your arms and legs to stay afloat, and catch your breath

At Southwark Leisure, we’re committed to providing safe, supportive spaces for people of all ages to learn, swim and enjoy the water confidently.

If you have any concerns about water safety, talk to the lifeguards at your centre or visit the Royal Life Saving Society's website for more.

🌿 Healthy Habits: Lunchtime Stretch & Stroll 🚶‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Feeling stiff, stressed, or sluggish at your desk? A little lunchtime movement can do wonders for your body and mind.

Even 10–15 minutes of gentle stretching or a stroll around the block can:
✨ Boost your mood
✨ Ease muscle tension
✨ Improve focus for the afternoon
✨ Get your steps in without feeling like a chore

You don’t need fancy kit or a gym session — just step outside, stretch out those shoulders, loosen up your hips, and enjoy a change of scenery.

🌸 Pro tip: grab a colleague or pop in your headphones and treat it as your little pocket of calm in the middle of the day.

Your wellbeing matters — let’s make time for ourselves this week.

When’s your next stretch and stroll break? ⏰
