“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.
