So close — thank you!

Our Cool Summers, Warm Winters Crowdfunder has now reached £13,641, including Gift Aid and match funding from Sport England and Aviva.

That is amazing — thank you to everyone who has donated and shared.

But we still need one final push to get over the £15,000 mark and fully qualify for the Sport England match funding.

Please keep spreading the word far and wide — friends, family, neighbours, colleagues, gym members, everyone!

Every donation helps. Every share matters. Let’s get this over the line.

Our dream of Warm Winters & Cool Summers for our community is within reach, but we need one final push. 💪

Every donation, no matter how big or small, takes us one step closer to the finish line. ❤️

Friends, please can you give us a little boost and get us a bit nearer our target? Every donation, makes us very happy and gets us nearer our jackpot so that Sport England will match fund us.

BRILLIANT NEWS — WE CAN DO THIS!

We’ve heard from Sport England and they have told us they will match donations to our Cool Summers, Warm Winters Crowdfunder up to £7,500.

That means if we can reach our £7,500 target in individual donations, Sport England could provide the further £7,500 boost we need to make this project happen.

This is huge.

Our dream of keeping the Chapel Gym warm in winter and cool in summer is now genuinely within reach.

At the moment, we have around £4,000 in individual donations before Aviva match funding and Gift Aid — so we need one big final push to get us over the line.

Please, if you have been thinking about donating, now is the moment.

And if you have already donated, thank you so much — could you help us again by sharing this post, messaging a friend, or asking family, neighbours or colleagues to support us?

Every new donor matters. Every donation matters. Every share matters.

This is not just about comfort. It is about making sure the Chapel Gym remains safe, welcoming, accessible and sustainable for everyone who uses it — young people, older members, people managing health conditions, those returning to exercise, and our whole community.

As a small charity, we cannot do this without you. But with Sport England ready to match our community support, your donation could help unlock so much more.

Together we built the Chapel Gym.
Together we can make it fit for the future.

Please donate today and help us reach the £7,500 line:

Warm Winters. Cool Summers. Within our grasp.
