gym-

Do you know me ‘Rufi’ a little bit? Then have a read.

I love to work hard but to also to have a fun.

Terminal cancer means I won’t be around for long though, bummer!.

I want to always carry on my passion of giving gymnastics opportunities for everyone that will take it within Fusion Gymnastics and Trampoline in Pontyclun.

All gymnasts and their loved ones, staff, volunteers’, our community and supporting local businesses. I started off as VOLUNTEER IN 2008 when my daughter decided to ‘give it a go’, AND WILL END as a volunteer.

I had a brief stint as a paid employee when Llantrisant Gymnastics was owned by bad people who we won’t mention please. Those of you who were around when they decided to close the gym last year will know I worked to the bone to see that the gym would reopen and it worked.

We became Fusion Gymnastics and Trampoline #FUSION FORCE.

Head coaches Stephen Wardle and Naomi Bevan-Jones became the new owners as of May 2019 and the doors reopened. Steve and Naomi are gymnastics! Living and breathing gymnastics and trampoline and more so we share the same head space when it comes to what we know gymnastics gives to this world.

I want raise this money to carry on our shared goals for this special community club.

This money will be used for:

Continuous investment in fully trained coaches who continue to grab any qualification opportunities.

The best most up to date training equipment for all.

Access to anyone with additional needs with fully qualified coaches.

Home school club etc opportunities.

Promotion throughout the local community and further afield.

Never letting gender, religion, appearances etc becoming a barrier.

Outreach for local schools and clubs

Volunteer roles for young people and us ‘slightly older’ alike.

Gymnastics for people of all ages from those who can just walk onwards. Older age is insignificant.

Reducing the financial burden that comes with success. Yes, this is unfortunately a sport where the more successful you are the more expensive it is for you. (There’s something wrong in the formula there!).

Fusion also have a team of volunteers who are the ‘Fundraising for Fusion Committee’. Contact them on fundraising@gym-fusion-com if you are a business who can write off a charitable donation through your business status.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Thank you everyone!

Love Rufi x
