Each year Tone Leisure’s centres choose a local charity to support and in 2015 Stand Against Violence was voted charity of the year.

Stand Against Violence Founder, Adam Fouracre said: ‘We are extremely grateful to Tone Leisure for their ongoing support. It was a fantastic surprise to hear what a large amount they and their new members had managed to raise within the space of a month and we are thankful to all who donated.

‘This money will go a long way to supporting our objectives for this year and ensuring we can continue to deliver to young people, changing attitudes towards violence.’

Juliette Dickinson, Managing Director of Tone Leisure added, ‘Raising money for local charities has always been a passion within all our centres.

‘Both customers and staff have always been very charitable and we’d like to thank everyone for their continued support.’
