Our Values

At Rivers, our values are at the heart of what we do. They don’t just guide how we work as a team, they shape the experience we create for members, partners and communities.

Our values come together in SHINE:

  • Shared Success - Working together to achieve more.

  • Honesty & Trust - Building strong relationships through integrity.

  • Innovation - Always looking for new and better ways forward.

  • Nimble Mindset - Staying flexible and responsive to change.

  • Empathy & Passion - Bringing care, energy and purpose to everything we do.

These values reflect the culture at Rivers. Supportive, forward thinking and people first. They’re what make us more than just leisure centres, they’re what make us part of the community.
