The Nuneaton Town Community Foundation has celebrated the launch of its new state of the art, interactive children’s gym as part of its latest healthy living initiative aimed at children in the local borough.

To mark the launch, children from All Saints Primary School visited the Triton Showers Community Arena for the morning and tried out the new equipment. The gym houses an interactive sports wall and a full set of digital dance mats, which had the children stepping in time to some of their favourite pop songs.

Following a generous donation from Triton Showers earlier in the year, the Foundation was able to secure a pound-for-pound grant through the Sports Match initiative. This additional funding paid for the interactive gym and has allowed the Foundation to continue its support and education of children in the local area. The new children’s gym will play a key part of the charity’s healthy living schemes going forward.

Steve Farmer, General Manger of the Nuneaton Town Community Foundation, said:

“The launch of the gym coincides with our latest programme called ‘Particip8’. This is a girl’s only initiative in conjunction with 20 local schools to encourage girls aged 7-16 years to get active and try out a number of different sports.

“The dance mats were an instant hit and the combination of exercise, music and laughter really captured the essence of the Particip8 programme.”

Tina Simpson, Marketing Director of Triton Showers, concludes:

“It’s great to see that Triton’s sponsorship and the Sports Match grant are having a positive impact on the Foundation’s healthy living initiatives. The gym will play a major role in the new Particip8 programme, as well as offering a fun new challenge for the youngsters that continue to benefit from the ongoing Vitality programme.”
