Governed by a board of volunteer Trustees (Directors) who are local residents and have an interest in the health and wellbeing of our community. The Trustees receive no financial benefit from the company, for example they do not receive any of the surpluses.
As a registered Charity and Social Enterprise TCL operates in a way which aims to maximise our surplus, with 100% of those surpluses being reinvested back into the services, facilities or health improvement programmes for the benefit of the whole community and its users.
Over the last 20 years the reinvestment of those surpluses has improved the facilities we operate beyond recognition. These surpluses have been generated by efficient management not continual prices increases, ensuring best value is achieved.

TCL has been at the forefront of the community, providing health and fitness services through all its activities with the aim of improving the physical and mental wellbeing of those that live in the Thurrock area. Throughout these years, TCL has played a huge part in reducing the strain on NHS services, through the provision of Health Referral Schemes which prevent, maintain and cure illness, injury and mental health conditions. This is a vital resource for the Thurrock community and enables patients who use the scheme to improve their quality of life. Without these services we would expect to see increased strain and cost to the NHS, increased waiting times and appointments for GPs, hospitals, physiotherapists and other health professionals.
