FMG and Progress Health Partnerships were commissioned in January 2024 to conduct a Leisure Review and develop an Active Wellbeing Strategy for Cumberland’s County Council. The work is on-going but has included a detailed mapping of policy against physical activity, a Health and Physical Activity Needs Assessment of the Cumberland population, co-production workshops with key multi-sector partners and detailed consultation conducted via one to one interviews and focus groups. The work included the development of a built facilities strategy. Following completion of the strategy, the Council has secured three funded place partnerships with Sport England, secured funding for a new leisure centre in Millom (£10m), and investment in two other leisure facilities in Cleator Moor (£3m) and Maryport (£3m). The Council has retained FMG to support them in procuring a new leisure operating partner in 2025. ![Cumberland-Leisure](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/Cumberland-Leisure.webp?width=612&height=344&name=Cumberland-Leisure.webp)   - Recent - Topics - Archive Recent Topics - [Case Studies (41)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/case-studies) - [Blog (13)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/blog) - [Strategy (4)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/strategy) - [Delivery (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/delivery) - [Training & development (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/training-development) Archive - [May 2026 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2026/05) - [January 2026 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2026/01) - [December 2025 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/12) - [November 2025 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/11) - [October 2025 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/10) - [August 2025 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/08) - [July 2025 (30)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/07) - [June 2025 (6)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2025/06) - [December 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/12) - [November 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/11) - [October 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/10) - [September 2024 (2)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/09) - [July 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/07) - [June 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/06) - [May 2024 (1)](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/archive/2024/05) See all ### Subscribe by email Share this [Share on Twitter](https://twitter.com/share?url=https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/cumberland-leisure-review&text=Cumberland%20Leisure%20Review) [Share on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/cumberland-leisure-review&t=Cumberland%20Leisure%20Review) [Share on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/cumberland-leisure-review&t=Cumberland%20Leisure%20Review) Previous story [← Football Foundation Football Hubs](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/football-foundation-football-hubs) Next story [Lewisham Sport & Physical Activity Strategy →](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/lewisham-sport-physical-activity-strategy) ## You May Also Like These Related Stories [Sport Wales – Plas Menai National Outdoor Centre](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/sport-wales-plas-menai-national-outdoor-centre) ![Sport Wales – Plas Menai National Outdoor Centre](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hubfs/Images/Sport-Wales-Plas-Menai-National-Outdoor-Centre.webp) [Case Studies](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/case-studies) ### Sport Wales – Plas Menai National Outdoor Centre Jul 10, 2025 10:54:04 AM 1 min read [Colchester Borough Council](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/colchester-borough-council) ![Colchester Borough Council](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hubfs/Images/Colchester-Borough-Council.webp) [Case Studies](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/case-studies) ### Colchester Borough Council Jul 10, 2025 10:38:22 AM 1 min read [Rubicon Leisure Limited](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/rubicon-leisure-limited) ![Rubicon Leisure Limited](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hubfs/Images/img-008.webp) [Case Studies](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/blog/tag/case-studies) ### Rubicon Leisure Limited May 3, 2024 10:45:00 AM 1 min read ### Get Email Notifications ### No Comments Yet Let us know what you think ![FMG Logo](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hubfs/FMG%20Logo.svg) FMG Consulting Limited Bank House, Market Square Congleton, Cheshire CW12 1ET ![UK Flag](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/UK%20Flag.webp?width=40&height=20&name=UK%20Flag.webp) [0330 4000 481](tel:0330%204000%20481) ![Irish Flag](https://www.fmgconsulting.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Irish%20Flag.webp?width=40&height=20&name=Irish%20Flag.webp) [01 912 0079](tel:%200330%204000%20481) [info@fmgconsulting.co.uk](mailto:info@fmgconsulting.co.uk) Registered in England & Wales.
