Gymnastics in Ipswich
Since November 1999 Gymnastics in Ipswich have been evolving at the purpose built facility located nears Gainsborough.
Having started with approximately 400 children taking part in the gymnastic sessions each week, the initiative has grown at an exponential rate with over 2,500 now attending each week.
The initiative has also been taken into schools across Ipswich, giving some 30,000 children the opportunity to experience gymnastics through basic coaching, leveraging the facilities of each school.
The scheme has recently started to offer a class tailored towards people with learning and physical disabilities, promoting their total inclusion policy.
The application to Cash 4 Clubs saw Gymnastics in Ipswich receive a much needed £1,000 to replace a broken set of parallel bars.
Andy Wood, a committee member and coach said "As a charity all money that comes in is spent directly on the centre, so any extra that we need for things such as new equipment we have to raise through fund raising activities and grant applications. The Cash 4 Clubs grant has been a great help and allows our project to continue at the rate we would like."
