Parents in sport

We’re supporting Parents in Sports Week. which is run by the NSPCC Child Protection in Sport Unit from 1 October, as it highlights the benefits of parents getting involved in their children’s sporting activities, writes welfare officer Alison.

There is some helpful information online from the campaign, including some videos, which shows how supporting our children in their training can really help them to enjoy their sport more and progress.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our parents who support the girls and help our club to help them thrive.

Myself and Kristy are the club’s welfare officers and we’re here to provide support for gymnasts, parents and coaches, so feel free to get in touch at any time.

Clothing collection appeal returns

Items requestedWe’re starting another clothes recycling fundraiser this week – back by popular demand, writes coach Becca.

We’re working with Roberts Recycling after our last successful collection netted 561kg in clothing worth £252 to our ongoing fundraising appeal.

Gymnasts in all classes will be given a bag to fill. Once they are full, any clean plastic bag can be used.  Ask your family and friends to donate too. Please see the image for the items that are acceptable.

Bags need to be returned to the Gwernaffield gym by Saturday 6 October or to the Pre-school classes on Saturday 6 October and we will take them to Gwernaffield.

Thanks in advance for your continued support.
