A fundraiser has been launched to help create a new home for gymnastics in the Fens.

Fenland Gymnastics Academy hopes that finding a new premises will enable them to offer more classes and work through the group's waiting list at a quicker rate.

With a £7,500 target, money raised will go towards covering the cost of renovating a new facility, gymnastics equipment and operational expenses.

Michelle Gower, organiser, said: "Our current space has served us well, but as our programmes continue to grow, it’s clear that we need a larger, more modern facility to meet the needs of our athletes, coaches, and families.

"We would like a better communal area for our gymnasts and parents, including improved changing room facilities, more toilets (including disabled and baby change), a cafe and a more suitable viewing area.

"A bigger car park is also necessary as we have so many cars parking on the road and gymnasts are having to cross the road just to be able to attend their sessions."

She said that "without proper space and equipment, the potential of our members is limited".

Therefore, a new facility would allow the academy to offer more classes, training sessions and help the group's athletes to compete at higher levels and host gymnastics events.

"With your help, we can make this dream come true for our athletes and our future stars," she said. 

"No contribution is too small - every penny brings us one step closer to reaching our goal!"
