Wrexham Gymnastics Club Facility Revamp

Aim: Help Us Flip The Future - Refurbish Our Gymnastics Facility!

Who are we?

Why are we crowdfunding?

For years, we’ve proudly provided a safe and inspiring space where confidence is built, friendships are formed, and dreams take shape—one cartwheel at a time! Now, we need your help to keep that momentum going.

As we work to refurbish our much-loved facility, your support will help us create an even better environment for our amazing gymnasts. 

Why We Need Your Support: Enhancing Safety and Accessibility for All

At Wrexham Gymnastics Club, safety and inclusivity are our top priorities. While we’ve created an amazing space for gymnasts to learn and grow, some areas of our facility are in desperate need of refurbishment and upgrades to ensure that we continue to provide the highest standard of training for our members. Here’s how your generous donations will help:

Balcony Viewing Area – Refurbishment & Safety:

The balcony viewing area is a beloved spot for parents and supporters, but it’s in need of some safety upgrades. We want to refurbish the space, ensuring it’s fully secure and comfortable for families to enjoy watching their gymnasts in action.

Foam Pit – Update & Renew:

The foam pit is a critical part of training, but it’s showing signs of wear and tear. To keep our athletes safe while they practice high-impact moves, we need to replace the foam with fresh, top-quality material that provides better protection.

Mirrors & Ballet Barre – Enhancing Technique & Progress:

Having mirrors in the gym is key for athletes to monitor their form and improve their skills. Along with a new ballet barre for dance and flexibility work, these updates will help our gymnasts develop their technique more effectively.

Fire Doors – Upgrade & Safety Improvements:

Safety is non-negotiable, especially when it comes to fire exits. Our current fire doors need updating to meet modern safety standards, ensuring all our athletes and visitors are well-protected in case of an emergency.

Improved Front Access/Entrance – Welcoming All:

The front entrance is the first impression of our gym, and we want it to be as welcoming as possible. A revamped entrance will create a more accessible, inviting space for all our members and guests.

New SEN/Disability Equipment – Promoting Inclusivity:

We are committed to providing an inclusive environment where gymnasts of all abilities feel welcome. New SEN and disability-friendly equipment will ensure that we can cater to everyone, including those with additional needs, so they can also enjoy the benefits of gymnastics.

New Flooring & Landing Mat Covers – Ensuring Safe Landings:

Our gymnasts need the safest possible environment to train, and that means updated flooring and landing mat covers. Replacing old, worn-out mats will provide a safer landing surface for athletes practicing high-flying skills, reducing the risk of injury.

Every penny you donate will directly fund these crucial improvements. By helping us refurbish and update our facility, you’re not only ensuring a safer environment but also supporting the growth and development of gymnasts of all ages and abilities.

Community impact

The Wider Impact of Wrexham Gymnastics Club: Benefiting the Entire Community

Wrexham Gymnastics Club is not just a place for aspiring gymnasts to train—it's a community hub that positively impacts people of all ages and backgrounds. Located in an area that ranks in the top 15% of the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation, we are proud to serve a diverse community with varying needs. Our facility is a space where individuals of all abilities come together to learn, grow, and thrive. Here’s a look at how we benefit the broader Wrexham community:

Supporting Local Schools

We host regular gymnastics sessions for local schools, providing students with the opportunity to engage in physical activity, develop motor skills, and learn the values of discipline, teamwork, and resilience. By offering school sessions, we help foster a love for sport and fitness in the next generation, laying the foundation for healthier lifestyles and future sports enthusiasts.

Baby & Toddler Sessions

Our baby and toddler gymnastics classes are designed to support early physical development in a fun and safe environment. These sessions focus on building strength, coordination, and motor skills while providing parents and caregivers with an opportunity to bond with their little ones through movement and play. It’s a great way to kickstart a child’s fitness journey in a supportive, friendly space.

Home Education Sessions

For families who choose home education, Wrexham Gymnastics Club offers tailored sessions that help students stay active and engage in structured physical education. These classes provide essential socialization, physical activity, and skill development, ensuring home-educated children don’t miss out on opportunities for physical fitness and teamwork.

Adult Gymnastics Sessions

We believe that fitness has no age limit! Our adult gymnastics classes offer a fantastic way for individuals to stay active, build strength, flexibility, and confidence, and enjoy the benefits of gymnastics at any age. Whether you’re returning to gymnastics after years away, starting something new, or simply looking for a fun fitness challenge, our adult classes are welcoming and inclusive for all.

Inclusive & Accessible Opportunities

We also cater to individuals with additional needs through our specialized SEN/disability sessions and equipment. Wrexham Gymnastics Club is committed to providing an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of their background or abilities, has the chance to enjoy the benefits of gymnastics and physical activity.

A Community Hub That Brings Us Together

Despite being located in an area facing socio-economic challenges, Wrexham Gymnastics Club plays a vital role in providing accessible and affordable opportunities for fitness and personal development. By supporting us, you are not just helping to refurbish a gym—you are investing in a community that thrives on inclusion, opportunity, and well-being.

By offering gymnastics to people of all ages and abilities, we give local families, schools, and individuals the chance to stay active, build confidence, and access vital support services in a safe and welcoming space. For many in our community, Wrexham Gymnastics Club is more than just a gym—it's a lifeline.

Thank you for helping us make Wrexham a healthier, more active, and connected place to live. Your support will ensure that we continue to be a positive force for change in our community!
