Building the future of All Stars Gymnastics

Aim

Help us improve All Stars Gymnastics with new toilets and café, creating a better facility for our growing community.

Our Story

All Stars Gymnastics Club was founded in 2016 in a village hall in Taffs Well, Pontypridd, with a simple aim: to give children and families in our local community the opportunity to enjoy gymnastics in a fun, welcoming environment.

Since then, All Stars has grown beyond anything we could have imagined. We have moved from that village hall into our own 12,000 sq ft facility and now welcome around 1,200 members every week, with a further 250 children attending our Parent & Child and Additional Learning Needs (ALN) sessions.

Our main membership is children aged 3–16, but we welcome gymnasts from walking age through to adults.

A Growing Community

We are particularly proud of our popular ALN sessions, which provide children with additional needs the opportunity to enjoy gymnastics in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Our growth has been driven by the families and community around us. We have recently expanded our gym to create more space for gymnastics, but our facilities haven't been able to grow at the same pace.

We are now raising £11,000 to help complete the next stage of our development.

What We Need

The money raised will be used for three important improvements:

🚻 Additional toilets

We currently have only two toilets serving a very busy facility. With hundreds of children, parents, carers and coaches using the club every week, we urgently need additional toilet facilities.

☕ A new café and entrance area

Following the expansion of our gym, we need to relocate our existing café into the new entrance area.

This will create a more welcoming space where parents and carers can wait, meet other families, socialise and enjoy refreshments while their children are training.

More Space, More Opportunities

These improvements aren't just about making the building more comfortable. They will help us make much better use of the space we have created.

With an improved layout, we will be able to take more children from our waiting lists, giving more young people the opportunity to participate in gymnastics.

Our vision is to make All Stars a place where children and families can enjoy sport, develop their skills and feel part of a welcoming community.

A Home for Gymnastics Competitions

We also want to develop All Stars as a competition venue.

By installing a curtain across the middle of the gym, we will be able to hold competitions at one end while continuing to run classes at the other.

This is particularly exciting because Welsh Gymnastics is keen for All Stars to host four competitions in 2027, alongside at least three competitions we are already planning ourselves.

This means our improvements could benefit not only our members, but visiting gymnasts, families, coaches and the wider gymnastics community across Wales.

Help Us Take the Next Step

We have come a long way since our beginnings in a village hall in 2016.

From those small beginnings, we have grown into a 12,000 sq ft facility serving around 1,450 children each week through our regular membership, Parent & Child and ALN sessions.

Now we want to build on that success.

Our £11,000 project will help us create better facilities for the people who use All Stars every week, give more children the opportunity to take part in gymnastics, and help establish our club as a venue for gymnastics competitions.

With your support, we can make All Stars an even better place for children and families to take part in sport, meet others and be part of something special.
