Move a Million Kilos

Five Acre Wood School and Core The Gym are once again teaming up for the Move a Million Kilos challenge – lifting a combined 1 million kg to raise funds for a fully adapted fitness space for pupils at Five Acre Wood School’s Oxford Road site.

Throughout the 9th of September, staff, students and members of Core The Gym will move a combined 1 million kilograms over 6 exercises.

💪Why are we fundraising?

We are raising money to create a bespoke, fully accessible gym for our pupils, built from a converted shipping container on site. This innovative gym will be designed especially for pupils with profound, severe, and complex learning difficulties. It will offer:

✨ Tailored movement and therapy sessions

✨ Work experience & independence opportunities

✨ A safe, accessible space to build confidence, wellbeing, and life skills

Not every pupil can access a mainstream gym comfortably or safely — and that’s why this project matters. Together, we can give these young people a space to move, grow, and thrive. 💚

🌟 How you can help

Every donation – big or small – will help turn this vision into reality. By supporting Move a Million Kilos, you are helping to create a space that will benefit pupils for years to come. Your support will directly change lives — promoting health, independence, and opportunity for every learner involved.

Thank you for supporting our pupils, our staff, and everyone taking part in this incredible challenge!
