Following our budget setting process for the coming financial year 25/26, please be advised that The Pickaquoy Centre Trust will have a 10% increase on services for the year ahead, this includes our ActiveLife membership.
We want to thank all our customers once again for their continued support of the Pickaquoy Centre and our ActiveLife Membership programme, we hope that our services and fantastic membership continues to help you all to achieve a healthier lifestyle, both physical and mental.
We’re delighted that the membership scheme still has excellent levels of engagement across the county, with over 6,700 Orkney residents now enjoying its benefits.
James Linklater, The Pickaquoy Centre Trust's Managing Director, said: “The ethos of the scheme, to get ‘More People, More Active, More Often’ remains the same, with continuous review ensuring the membership can evolve and remain attractive to the wider community, is sustainable for the future and allows for reinvestment to enhance facilities and activities across the county. With this in mind, there will be some changes to the scheme from 1st April 2025.
There will be a 10% price increase to the Individual and Family ActiveLife memberships:
- An Individual membership will now be £30.25 per month
- A Family membership will now be £42.35 per month
The Budget membership and ActiveIslands option for Isles residents will remain unchanged.
James continued: “We continue to see our LeisureLink Partnership develop with Orkney ActiveLife members now able to use facilities in 9 regions across Scotland with ‘Live Life Aberdeenshire’ joining the partnership in the last year. The LeisureLink Partnership allows ActiveLife members to access gym, public swimming and fitness classes at leisure centres across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll and Bute, The Borders, Highland, Moray, Shetland and The Western Isles. This flexibility means that people working away from home or on holiday can use local facilities within participating areas as part of their existing home-based membership, all at no extra cost.
The infographic below shows what great value this membership continues to be - and as the slogan encourages, the ‘more often’ you use it, the greater value you gain in terms of your health and financially!
As a Charitable Trust, any surplus within our operating cost is reinvested back into the community we serve through enhancements of our programme of activities or refreshed equipment within our centre.
We always welcome feedback – if you have any suggestions for the scheme in the future, please email memberships@pickaquoy.com.“
