We're still collecting donations

On the 24th February 2021 we'd raised £112 with 6 supporters in 56 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
Gymnastics Reborn was set up in October 2020 to help provide gymnastics activities to children of all ages and abilities for Ampthill and the surrounding towns.
We started with only a few members and now have capacity for over 100 members a week ranging from 4 year olds to 16 year olds. We pride ourselves in being able to offer high quality gymnastics sessions in a fun, dynamic and experienced way.
When we are open, our groups range in abilities from recreational classes of 45 mins to Men's Artistic Squad Gymnasts training over 16 hours a week. These gymnasts, when competitions recommence, will represent Gymnastics Reborn on a regional and national level.
Most recently due to national and local restrictions Gymnastics Reborn has been unable to open. Whilst we have been offering Zoom sessions to all members, we are unable to access any financial support from the government and are now fundraising to secure the longer term future of Gymnastics Reborn.
Many gymnastics clubs have been forced to charge retention fees to hold spaces for their members or full fees for online lessons. We realise that during this difficult time not all families are able to afford anything to hold their child's space. For this reason we have not and will not charge any retention fees as we believe that all children have the right to return to gymnastics when it is safe to do so. Similarly, we have reduced all recreational fees to 50% for Zoom Sessions to make our sessions as affordable and accessible to everyone during this difficult time.
All funds raised will go directly into securing the future of the club, coving our immediate expenses for our rent and bills, and any further funds raised will be used to improve the equipment that we have, as spending on new equipment is currently limited with minimal income due to closures.
