🚨 BREAKING NEWS – OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL HAS LIFTED US TO NEW HEIGHTS! 🚨

This morning (18th April 2025) something truly extraordinary happened.

A generous parent – not even affiliated with our club – visited during a competition and was so moved by what he saw, he donated £1,000. At the time, he told us, “If you need help nearer the deadline, let me know.”

Well… today, he returned with another £1,500, bringing his total gift to £2,500. It was an emotional moment – real, grateful tears.

His incredible generosity inspired even more donations and has helped us reach a major milestone…

We’ve now raised £15,336 from 90 amazing supporters – and we’ve officially secured the £7,500 Sport England match-funding!
We can now buy the trampoline! 🎉

But we’re not done yet. Our full project cost is £16,456.20, and we’re now aiming for the final stretch so we can fund everything on our wishlist.


How We’ll Spend the Money Raised:

We’re committed to using every penny raised to benefit our gymnasts, community, and club. Here’s how your support will make a difference:

New Trampoline (£8,364.00) – A state-of-the-art trampoline with frame, pads & bed for safe, modern training
Safety Matting (£813.60) – Essential upgrades to improve safety for 500+ weekly gymnasts
Padded Cable Guards (£2,805.60) – Protecting high bar and asymmetric bars, ensuring gymnast safety
Gymnova Equipment Maintenance (£4,473.00) – Upgrades to keep our high bars, springboards, and handrails in top condition

Total Project Cost: £16,456.20

We’re just £1,120.20 away from reaching our full target. Let’s keep going – together we can do this
