On the 26th October 2023 we'd raised £205 with 10 supporters in 56 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
The Stamshaw Tipner leisure centre plays a vital role in our community, providing a space for recreational activities, gatherings, and events. However, urgent attention is needed to address the hazardous old carpet that poses a safety risk to all who visit. By securing funding to replace this carpet, not only will the center become a safer place, but it will also receive a much-needed aesthetic upgrade.
The installation of new carpet will significantly enhance the overall appearance of the leisure center. A clean and modern environment is more likely to attract individuals and groups looking to rent the space for various occasions. This increased desirability will help generate additional revenue, which can be reinvested to further improve the center's facilities and programs.
It's important to note that the leisure center is operated by a charitable organization and staffed entirely by volunteers who are deeply committed to serving the community. Unfortunately, the center's operations have been greatly impacted by the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. With fewer people utilizing the facility due to health concerns and restrictions, the center's funding has dwindled, making it increasingly difficult to cover maintenance and operational costs.
As a consequence of reduced income, certain areas of the center have fallen into disrepair over time. This decline not only hampers the overall experience for visitors but also undermines the center's ability to fulfill its role as a community hub.
Your generous contribution to fund the replacement of the hazardous carpet will not only address safety concerns but also breathe new life into the center. By doing so, you'll be helping to revitalize a cherished community space, supporting dedicated volunteers, and ensuring that the Stamshaw Tipner leisure center remains an essential asset for everyone to enjoy.
In addition to its urgent need for funding to replace the hazardous old carpet, the Stamshaw Tipner leisure center serves as a crucial social hub within the community. Stamshaw is a neighborhood that lacks an abundance of social activities, making the center even more pivotal in bringing people together.
With its diverse range of programs and events, the leisure center offers a unique space for community members to socialize, connect, and engage in meaningful interactions. Whether it's fitness classes, workshops, cultural events, or simply a place for neighbors to gather, the center plays an integral role in fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie among residents.
Considering the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, this social aspect has become even more crucial. The isolation and distancing measures have highlighted the importance of spaces like the Stamshaw Tipner leisure center, where individuals can come together safely to rebuild connections and combat loneliness.
By supporting the center's funding needs, you're not only contributing to the physical transformation of the facility but also enabling its continued role as a vibrant social epicenter in the heart of Stamshaw. Your contribution will help create a welcoming environment that fosters connections, strengthens the community, and provides much-needed social opportunities for all.
