We try to be innovative and not increase the financial burden on our members’ families and friends. So we have teamed up with various fundraising channels such as easyfundfraising and GiveAsYouLive both ways in which your on-line purchasing for your everyday activities could result in donations being made by the retailers or service providers by accessing their online sales page via either of these options.

There are Apps to download to phone or tablet or registration on line so you don’t even have to remember to use them – just look for the logo and a donation will be generated for the club in your name and it won’t cost you a penny. This works for buying gift cards or prepay coffee shop card and other consumers items.

We try to be innovative and not rely upon our members’ families and friends. This said there are some events such as the Club Championships, the Award Night and other Special Events organised at the Club that are important for club cohesion and spirit and any funds raised in Night this way is always reserved for investment in new or replacement apparatus or the purpose for which the event was promoted. Some of these events will attract the benefit of GiftAid too.
Our Club has also the ambitions to become host to county and regional competitions in the future as well as hosting British Gymnastics training courses for Coach development.
The club is also grateful for the generous funding received from many charitable trusts and organisations such as Sport England and the Dover District Council and Dover Port
