Supporting Tilehurst Gymnastics Club's fundraising efforts

We were delighted to have recently supported Tilehurst Gymnastics Club (TGC) Competition in aid of fundraising for new equipment and premises, thanks to the passion of Landmark’s Internal Sales Executive, Victoria Eggleton.

Victoria said:

“I am an accomplished Artistic Gymnast and, having spent 16 years of my childhood training at the sport, was County Champion in 1995. I love working with children and have been an Activity Leader at School Holiday Clubs for some time. I still keep up the gymnastics, attending adult classes on a weekly basis and am really passionate about the work Tilehurst Gymnastics Club does.  I have been helping at the club since 2012, coaching children of all ages and ability every Saturday. TGC was originally formed in January 2009 and now runs 29 classes a week involving 382 club members and 140 school children.

“The Club recently held their Gymnastics Club Competition in aid of fundraising for new equipment such as springboards and crash mats, as well as to put towards much needed new premises. 

“The competition was an extremely successful event, providing an opportunity for over 270 children to demonstrate their gymnastics skills, as well as allowing their parents to share in their achievements. It has been great to be able to play such an active role in contributing to this worthy cause, and I’m so pleased that the overall event raised £4,500, £500 of which was donated by Landmark Information Group.”

Landmark continues to support our two nominated charities, MapAction and Sue Ryder, as well as backing the efforts of our staff in their own worthy charities and community causes. During our last financial year Landmarker’s raised over £15,000 (Landmark charity matched over £7,500) for a range of charities including: Comic Relief, Coppafeel Charity for Breast Cancer, WaterAid, European Disaster Volunteers, the Brain Tumour Charity, Sands, Parkinsons UK, British Heart Foundation, Children in Need, Help Tom Hear, Prostrate Cancer and local hospices.
