The Freedom to Have Fun
Flying Angels Gymnastics Club
Fundraising
Here on this page, you will find details of how we raise money for our gymnastics club. We often put on events throughout the year, along with doing monthly bake sales, and collections.
As a small gymnastics club, we always need all the help we can get. It is an expensive sport, and the equipment does not come cheap. We have an amazing set of members, and greatly appreciate all the help we receive.
Bags2School
Every three months or so we collect bags full of clothes and shoes. Usually children have outgrown their clothes, or styles have gone out of fashion. We collect hundreds of bags, which then gets sent off and weighed. Once the bags are weighed, we receive a cheque, which we then put towards our fundraising pot.
Odd Socks Week
Odd socks week happens once a year, gymnasts donate £2.00 and wear the funkiest or outrageous odd socks to training.
Some even come with bright leg warmers, for a cosier look. This is a week-long event. From 26th - 30th, April 2022 will be raising money for brand new mini apparatus All participation is a huge help.
Onesie Week
Onesie week at the gym will be from the 15th of February to the 19th of February 2022. The gymnasts will have a fun, comfortable, cosy, and warm week. Donations of £3.00 per gymnast help the club to raise money for brand new bars.

Crowdfunding
We are raising money for our club for a month from the 28th of March to the 27th of April 2021. After the Covid-19 pandemic hit we were left without a space to train. Having had to move a couple of times before our equipment has ended up in different locations in storage. Along with all that has happened, and with moving, we found that damage to some of our equipment has occurred. For more information please check out this link here CROWDFUNDING
