TheCore Skatehereford Cic The Core Skate Hereford CIC
a non-profit Community organisation run by volunteers of the community
(1)

The Core was opened in August 2014 in answer to the community need for a roller skating and alternative community sports and activity hall. Roller skating has been a popular exercise and fun activity for all in Herefordshire since 2010 when Herefordshire Roller Skating Club (HRSC) was started;

Run by volunteers of the community for the community. Offering a social and active place to participate

in community events and put ideas for projects into practice. Our mission is to provide a community sports facility in Hereford which promotes health, well being, fitness and social inclusion through the sometimes artistic, always aerobic, competitive and all inclusive sport of roller skating.

Cant sleep, must be something on my mind….

We’ve been in our new shop since December, and one thing we’ve found really interesting is that, according to Square, around 49% of our customers on average are new customers.

That’s amazing, and we’re so grateful for every new person who has found us. 🙏

But we’ve also realised that quite a few people still don’t know we’ve moved, but we have! Only around the corner, but we’re definitely in our new home now.

We’ve seen plenty of our old regulars out and about, and many have told us they haven’t visited yet because they don’t really come into town anymore.

And honestly, we miss you.

So this is a little invitation, if you used to visit us, please do come and see the new shop. Pop in, have a browse, say hello, and let us show you where we are now.

You don’t need a reason. We’d just really love to see you. 💙

P.S. Excuse the lack of signage, it’s in hand! 😉

Was expecting rent to be £25,000 from 1st July.
Landlords now want £33,852 with extra increase each year after.

Oh no……

This is by far the hardest post we have ever had to write.

After exhausting every option available to us, we have made the heartbreaking decision to close Flip Out Hereford.

If you have visited us recently, you will have seen children laughing, birthday parties taking place, families making memories and our team working hard to create the best experience possible. The park never lost its magic.

Unfortunately, behind the scenes, the financial reality became too much for us to overcome. Rising costs, increasing overheads and historic debt reached a point where the business could no longer continue sustainably.

Anyone who knows us will know that giving up is not in our nature. We opened Flip Out Hereford in September 2020, in the middle of the COVID pandemic, and kept going because we believed in what we had built.

Like many small businesses across the UK, we have faced increasing costs from every direction. Energy, wages, insurance, business rates and supplier costs have all risen significantly over the last few years.
Unfortunately, there comes a point where determination alone is no longer enough.
The truth is that a business can be loved, busy and valued by its community, and still reach a point where the numbers no longer work.

That reality is heartbreaking.

Over the last six years, we have welcomed more than 300,000 visitors, celebrated thousands of birthdays, supported schools, community groups and SEND families, and watched children create memories with their friends and families.

What we built here was always about much more than inflatables. It was about people.

To every member of staff, past and present, thank you. You have been the heart of this business.
To every customer who visited us, thank you.
We are incredibly proud of what we achieved together.

Our priority now is to support everyone affected and work closely with our Insolvency Practitioner whilst the company enters the liquidation process.

Information regarding bookings, refunds and next steps will be shared as soon as possible. We kindly ask for patience whilst we work through the process.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
