On taking ownership of the centre, the first priority of AVCT was to improve the quality and range of provision that the centre offered. Initial grants and funding allowed the building to be refurbished and equipment, which was of poor quality and often damaged, to be replaced. Prior to community ownership the centre was not well-utilised and was not seen as a welcoming place, particularly for women and children. One of the priorities for the refurbishment was to open the centre up and remove barriers (e.g. turnstiles, security, glass partitions on reception). A key part of improving usage of the centre was to involve local people in running the centre, to bring in local intelligence about what the community needed and to build good relationships with customers. This has been very successful and the users of the sports centre are now primarily women rather than men.
