Exciting news - we've been accepted again into the Cash for Kids Sports Challenge by Wave 105!
This year, we're raising money for our Warm Winter Project and Equipment.
Our project will run over the colder months and will provide an indoor, warm and safe space for the following groups to enjoy beneficial physical activity and build a stronger community base:
Children (and their families and schools) with complex SEND needs
Families who find themselves in difficult financial situations
Children who have suffered bereavements
Young carers
Youth projects and groups
Other children's charity groups
We're known for our work within the SEND community, and many of our current families are aware of the long waitlists for support. Our aim is to provide the opportunities for these people and groups to grow in a safe and supportive environment with inclusive, meaningful movement at its heart.
Money raised through our participation in Cash for Kids 2024 will go towards funding these sessions, as well as upgrading equipment at John Pounds and Hilsea for the benefit of all our gymnasts.

1st Prize for the most money raised is...1 year of free gymnastics! (Covering up to 4 hours per week, T&Cs apply)

Sponsorship Challenges!
Gymnasts can choose from 3 sponsorship challenges:
Challenge 1
Viva 10 for 10 Challenge - 10,000 steps a day for 10 days!
This can be walking to school, going to the park, trips to the co-op for treats, and this can be linked within your family, so mum can do 1,000 steps, brother and sister can do 500, we can even rope in our pets! But no hamsters, that is just cheating ;)
Challenge 2
Viva Meaningful Movement Challenge - 10 minutes of meaningful movement a day.
10 minutes a day of being active and moving, 10 minutes of jumping on a trampoline, 10 minutes on your bike, 10-minute walk, 10-minute stretch! Make time in your day for physical wellbeing to aid your mental wellbeing.
Challenge 3
Viva Gymnastics 10 acts of Kindness - 10 acts of kindness towards yourself and others for 10 days.
This can be anything from cleaning your bedroom so that mum doesn't have too, to sharing your sweets, and giving yourself a pat on the back when you have worked hard. Any act of kindness counts and this challenge is something we think all our gymnasts could get behind.
You can choose 1 challenge or all 3, we encourage our families to all get involved and Don't Forget - you are welcome to raise money any way you'd like! Bake sales, swimming, running, cycling, making things, selling old things (as long as, if you're baking cakes, coaches get a discount) - we don't mind!
Below is a timeline of all the EXTRA things we will be running in order to help raise money - movie night, afternoon tea, giant workshops, parties - you name it, we are probably doing it!
Keep your eyes on your inboxes - all the information on how to join in and book on will be coming THIS WEEK!
As always, thank you so much in advance for everything you do, for all the help, for just being part of our gym. We know that, together, we can make a difference to so many more families as well as improve our facilities for our wonderful gymnasts.
