Outdoor gym for kids in Backhouse Park

We have great news at the start of the year! Our crowdfunding for the building of a children's gym at Backhouse Park was a huge success! Thanks to the generosity of donors, we not only managed to raise the full amount needed to build the gym but a little over that, so we will be able to hold an event in the park to celebrate the opening and leave some for maintenance. In total we raised £7,257. A big thank you to all the donors, a special thank you to the friends and supporters of ICOS and Backhouse Park who got our fundraising off to a great start and who supported our project from the very beginning, Sunderland City Council for donating £1,000 from Crowdfund Sunderland fund and £2,000 from Public Health Fund, National Lottery - Community Fund for donating £2,000 and NHS North East & North Cumbria for donating £2,000 from Integrated Care Board Sunderland. Thank you so much, through this wonderful contribution the children will soon be able to enjoy a new outdoor activity.
