ABOUT US:

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) is set in the wider county of Berkshire, one of the most economically productive and innovative areas of the country. The borough council – a unitary authority - takes pride in its exceptional team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about providing quality services to the community. RBWM is a unique borough, with huge opportunity given its proximity to London and expanding business sectors, as well as being a major cultural and tourism area which includes international attractions such as Windsor Castle, Legoland and Ascot Racecourse.
Given our Royal connections, the eyes of the world are often on us and we continue to rise to the challenge.
RBWM recently awarded a 15-year contract to Leisure Focus Trust to manage and improve its six leisure centres, starting this spring. This award is part of the council’s new Sport and Leisure Strategy and includes upgrades to facilities like gyms, soft play areas, and sports courts. Additionally, a separate project is underway to upgrade Windsor Leisure Centre with energy-saving measures, funded by a £6.3 million Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme grant.
