Exercise equipment for Alex Children’s Hospital

Who are we?

I’m a mummy of 3 who is passionate about exercise. Having spent a lot of time in the Alex with my youngest son I have realised that it can be very hard to stay positive and look after yourself in hospital whilst caring for a poorly little one.

Moving is brilliant for our bodies and our wellbeing so I wanted to find a way to make it easier for parents or carers of little ones to get moving in hospital.

Two wonderful friends have offered free access to their online exercise classes (Gemma of Sona Studios and Joan of Frame).

Why are we crowdfunding?

To make it easier, I’d like to raise money to buy exercise equipment that parents could use to take advantage of these wonderful classes whilst they’re staying in the hospital.

How we’ll spend the money raised

Money raised will be used to purchase equipment such as yoga/pilates mats, exercise balls, resistance bands and weights.

Any surplus funds will be used to put together care packages for parents of children at the hospital. 

How you can play your part

There are four simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.

1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success!

2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.

3. Offer rewards. Get involved if you are a local business by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!

4. Fundraise for us. If you want to run your own fundraiser – maybe a sponsored activity or similar – use the 'contact project' button at the top of our page to let us know. Setting up your own page only takes a few minutes and you won’t need any bank details. Just a fun idea!
