Be Gymnastics, which can be found in the Highfield Industrial Estate, has secured a £250 Team Sport Award grant from UK Power Networks towards a new tumble track, where gymnasts can safely perfect flips, somersaults and other skills.
Phil Burke, a lead field engineer at UK Power Networks, is part of a team of parents who fundraise for the club all year round and he nominated the group for his employer’s award scheme. Phil, whose daughters train with Be Gymastics said: “The club brings children together and gives them a chance to progress through the levels. It felt good to be able to give something back by supporting the members and they appreciated it.”
Beth Winter, head coach, said: “We are delighted UK Power Networks has provided this funding, which is a great help to our community club.”
