Why has leisure time increased in the last 50 years?
Opportunities for leisureBecause of the trend for more leisure time,
leisure providers must cater for this. Many local authorities (the organisations who
manage and run leisure centres) and also private clubs who make up the leisure industry have grown in response to the increased need
Types of leisure provision
Private sector Public sector
Privately funded facilities are set up by private companies/enterprises that operate to make a profit.
They are often members-only clubs. Members pay fees
Likely to be more expensive. They include sports/fitness clubs, golf
and tennis clubs. Only operate if their is a sufficient
demands, therefore location can influence leisure opportunities with rural areas generally having less provision than urban areas
Some schools pay to use private clubs for lessons and extra-curricular activities
Public funded facilities are paid for by national and local government out of taxes and National Lottery funding.
Local authorities (e.g. Wolverhampton City Council) have a legal responsibility to provide leisure service, including swimming pools, playing fields and sports centres
They are available for everyone to use and are relatively cheap.
Some schools share facilities with the local authority for lessons and extra-curricular activities.
