Craven Gymnastics Club's New Equipment

Aim: We are raising money for new equipment to be used in our new dedicated gymnastics facility at Sandylands Sports Centre Skipton N Yorks

Who are we?

We are a community gymnastics club which has just achieved charity status. We have been operating as a club for over 50 years serving the local community and promoting our ethos 'Gymnastics for all'

Why are we crowdfunding?

We are crowdfunding to help enable us to buy new equipment for our new dedicated facility opening September 25 in Skipton, North Yorkshire. We are thrilled to finally have the opportunity to move into a dedicated space which will allow us to triple our current class schedule and increase the type of classes we offer, including but not limited to pre-school programmes, Special educational needs, adults and older adults 'love to move' classes aimed at those with decreased mobility. 

How we’ll spend the money raised

The money raised will go towards the equipment and safety matting which has currently been quoted at £60,000. 

Community impact

This is a community club which will grow even bigger with your help and support teaching gymnastics from pre-school to adults including Dementia and Parkinson's sufferers with our new 'love to move' programmes. In the same way which we have been operating for the last 50 years as a community club and now charity this allows us to re-invest any potential profits back into the club to improve the gymnasts learning through educational courses and equipment.
