The Synergy Gymnastics Foundation
What is the Foundation?
The Synergy Gymnastics Foundation provides support to gymnasts who are facing significant financial pressure which may prevent them from taking part in gymnastics or reaching their full potential in the sport.
We understand that such pressures often result in young people missing out on important sporting opportunities and the benefits these bring to their lives.
The foundation is open to every member of the club at every level whether you be a recreational gymnast attending once a week or a high performance gymnast competing internationally and everyone in between.
What Support do you Give?
Successful applicants are provided with credit on their I Class Pro parent portal account. This credit can be used towards monthly fees, annual membership, event entry or competition kit. We don’t provide actual cash or anything of other monetary value.
Read the application criteria here.
The foundation also provides signposting and support to other sources of financial assistance such as the British Gymnastics Hardship Grant.
We will be developing this page on our website to become a valuable resource for families including grant details and practical support. If there is something you feel would be useful to include please let us know.
