Who are we?
Devonport High School for Boys
Why are we crowdfunding?
We want to promote healthy lifestyles for our students but more importantly our community. The current Gym is under used due to its poor condition. This space could be transformational for students, parents and community sports teams who currently use our other sporting facilities. Local sports clubs and youth teams use our sport hall, Astro pitches and the new Gym would help give these groups a space to help with strength and conditioning. Plus promote healthy living through classes and instruction.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The money raised will be used to transform the space into an up to date fit for purpose gym. We will need to decorate and make cosmetic changes to bring the space up to standard. The main costs will be the equipment and the video attached is a vision on how the space could look once completed.
Community impact
This space will be used by our students during the school day. However our vision is to open this space up to sports clubs and teams who are currently using our facilities in the evenings and weekends as we are a community interest company, we are also looking to offer the general public membership at an affordable price as we believe the fitness and promotion of healthy lifestyles should not come at high costs. We want to create a community space that can be inclusive for all.
