Trampoline access for disability participants
Trampoline access for disability participants joined The Sefton Crowd1 week ago

We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded £6889 from the Sport England Movement Fund to support our disability gymnasts. To fully utilise this generous pledge, we need to raise an additional £6889 in matched funding. The goal is to purchase a new competition-standard Ultimate trampoline, along with surrounding floor mats and safety push-in mats. This specialised equipment is crucial for our gymnasts, who are excelling at regional and national levels. As demand for disability sessions continues to grow, upgrading to competition-standard trampolines ensures our athletes can safely develop advanced skills and experience the same platforms they encounter at competitions. Currently, over 40 athletes share one older trampoline, while other available trampolines fail to meet competition-standard requirements. By supporting our project, you’ll help create a safer, more inclusive environment that allows these talented individuals to reach their full potential.
