1. Our aims and objectives
To promote the preservation and protection of the health and wellbeing in Canterbury and the surrounding areas, by the support, encouragement and delivery of fitness activities, sports and services relevant and available to meet these needs.
Canterbury Health and Wellness was formed out of a passion for helping and encouraging people of all abilities in the local community to exercise and socialise to improve their over-all well-being. We are providing an accessible and safe facility for all the people of Canterbury to exercise and train in a safe environment.
Located just outside the centre of Canterbury with plenty of local parking with a close proximity to a large residential area and good transport links, means that we can service individuals and groups, who may be reliant on public or charitable transport.
Health, fitness and wellness (both mental and physical) are what we emphasise in our organisation. We aim to have activities that would help all members of the local community regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or disability, everyone is treated equally. We have also reached out to a number of special needs groups and organisations who may find benefit in the safe matted training areas.
Numerous studies have shown that It is important to keep active to maintain your overall health and fitness, this helps to combat all sorts of related conditions, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, balance related conditions, mental stability, stress, and so forth.
Along with this correct diet advice will help to keep people fitter and healthier for longer, more confident and balanced
2. Our current position
Currently we are working in partnership with Wugong CIC, who are a community group offering classes in Chinese Martial Arts and fitness training and they contribute to the rental of the building but will be looking towards other groups to increase our funding resources.
Our website is now up and running so we can advertise and raise money to help running, maintenance and equipment costs along with funds to help outsourcing within the local community. It will also help promote what we are doing so we can attract local groups to use the facility, there will be a donate section and information on what we do and our plans.
After reviewing the annual operating costs we have constructed a pricing structure to ensure that the centre can operate sustainably with self-generated funds and we have investigated organisations that may be willing to provide us with grants so that we may be able to run a selection of free activities to further expand our services and to grow support in the community.
3. Business strategy
Activities
To provide a safe, accessible inclusive fitness and wellbeing facility for the public benefit in Canterbury which will support the provision of sports and activities that encourage health and fitness whilst promoting inclusion and integrationamongstall age, ethnic and ability
Tactics
The next year will be taken up with –
-
Promotion to local groups for use of an exclusive matted and safe area and studio
-
Promotion of classes and courses that we run
-
Completion and running of our new website
-
Improvements to the facility, studio heating, etc
-
Search for volunteers to help in running the facility
Strategic issues
We have worked hard to analyse the potential issues that could affect the facilities operation. We see the rising costs of operation as the key main threat to survival and after talking to our local council they have been very clear that there will be no funding or rate relief for a not for profit organisation without adopting a charitable framework.
We have identified that as a charity we will be able to apply for restricted funds so that we can deliver free courses to certain sectors as dictated by funder but we have also secured private un-restricted fund providers who will rent the space to operate their businesses and this income has been forecasted to cover the operational costs or running the facilities on a monthly basis.

Social media is now the biggest advertising stream for any business, so we will make a page and ask people to like and share it, once this is done when we post items they will be seen and shared by more people thus increasing awareness and interest.
