💛 We Need Your Help, Active Gold Community 💛

Firstly — thank you. Every share, donation and message of support so far has meant the world to us.

Our Active Gold Extra crowdfunder is helping us work towards expanding our centre and adding more power-assisted machines so we can support even more over-50s in our community.

But we’ll be honest… things have slowed down a little.

This is where you can make a huge difference.

Do you know:
🏢 A local business owner?
📋 Someone who manages a company?
👩‍💼 A friend who works somewhere community-minded?

Please could you pass our crowdfunder on to them?

We have business-friendly rewards available such as:

🧱 Forever Supporter Bricks
🏋️ Healthy Ageing Machine Sponsor
🪟 Community Window Partner
🏅 Wellbeing Supporter recognition options

Supporting us doesn’t just help a gym — it helps reduce loneliness, improve mobility and keep older people independent for longer.

If every follower shared this with just one local business contact, it could make all the difference in helping us reach our target and unlock match funding.

Thank you for being part of our journey 💛
Let’s keep spreading the word and keep Mirfield moving.

🚨 Crowdfunding update! 🚨

As part of our pre-agreed Sport England match funding, once we raise £3,750 on our crowdfunding page, Sport England will contribute £7,500 – bringing us much closer to our £15,000 goal! 🙌

💡 Remember: we still need to raise our £7,500 ourselves before the campaign ends to unlock this funding. Every donation counts and helps us make this expansion a reality.

Let’s hit that milestone together! ❤️

🎉 We’ve Smashed £2,500 – Now at £2,586! 🎉

WOW. We didn’t just hit £2,500… we’ve gone past it and reached £2,586!! 🙌

A huge thank you to every single person who has donated, shared, commented and supported us so far. It honestly means so much to us and to the people in our community who will benefit from this expansion. 💛

This milestone is amazing — but we’re not stopping here. Remember, we need to raise £7,500 ourselves to unlock the match funding from Sport England. It’s an all or nothing campaign, so every pound gets us closer to securing the full amount.

We’re raising funds to add three new power-assisted exercise machines and expand our space, allowing us to support even more older adults to stay active, independent and connected. Alongside this some additional funding for extra coaching staff.

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now’s the perfect time to jump in and be part of it. And if you’ve already donated — thank you. Could you share this post to help us reach even more people?

Let’s keep the momentum going 🚀

✨ Crowdfunder Update – We’re Now at £2,461! ✨

We are absolutely blown away by the continued support. Thanks to you all, we’ve now reached £2,461 on our Crowdfunder! 🙌

That means we’re just £39 away from hitting £2,500… 👀

Who’s going to be the person that takes us over that milestone? 💛 Imagine being the one to say “I got them to £2,500!” Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference.

To unlock our match funding from Sport England, we need to raise £7,500 ourselves. This is an all or nothing campaign — we only receive the match funding if we hit that £7,500 target.

We’re raising funds to expand our facilities and add three new power-assisted exercise machines, helping even more older people in our local community stay active, independent and connected.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, now is the perfect moment. And if you can’t donate, please give this post a share and like our page — it really does help.

Let’s smash £2,500… and keep pushing towards £7,500 together 💪

We’re incredibly grateful to our local MP, Kim Leadbeater, for taking the time to visit us here in Mirfield and see first-hand the impact Active Gold is having in our community.

It was a pleasure to show you around, introduce you to some of our amazing members, and talk about how we’re helping older adults stay active, independent and connected. Your support and interest in what we’re building here means a great deal to us.

Thank you again for coming down and shining a light on the work we’re doing for the people of Mirfield and the surrounding areas 💛
