Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This year, the club faced one of its biggest challenges as the club was forced to close its premises due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. This meant that we were unable to provide our gymnastics sessions as we have done previously.
After a period of complete closure we began to provide gymnastics sessions virtually, making use of a new Zoom conferencing facility we put in place. Whilst the sessions provided were not as long as they would have been person-to-person, because certain aspects of our sessions do not translate into the virtual world, it enabled our coaches to continue to provide stimulating activities for our gymnasts and allowed the gymnasts to keep up their levels of physical activity at a time when it was otherwise much more difficult due to the pandemic.
As soon as it was safe and possible for us to do so, we re-opened our doors, putting in place all the necessary safeguards to ensure that we could begin providing sessions again face-to-face. At first, it was only possible to accommodate the squad gymnasts due to the time constraints imposed by the need for physical spacing and additional cleaning, but, again, as soon as we could we re-started our recreational classes.
Due to the pandemic and the difficulty of engaging with gymnasts and parents directly we did suffer a loss of membership, but we anticipate that this will grow back over the coming months.
Our main achievement over the course of this year has been to remain a viable club, ready to move forward as the pandemic eases.
