On Monday 13th December the team at West Denton hosted its second Spinathon of 2021 raising much needed funds for 2 local charities.  The staff really upped the stakes on this event, increasing the number of bikes and raising just over £1,000

The Charities the event supported were St Oswalds Hospice, who are a fantasic local hospice offering speciailist and expert care to adults and children with life-limiting conditions. The charity has been hard hit by the pandemic and its a cause dear to our teams hearts.  We are proud to say that in 2021 we have raised over £2,500 for the charity and we will conintue to support them into 2022.

 

The second Charity we supported was CDW Foodbank.  They are a local Foodbank based in Chapel House and cover areas surrounding West Denton Gym.  CDW make such a huge difference to the community supporting the increasing issue of food poverty. 

 

The staff at West Denton Gym have worked closedly with CDW over the last 5 weeks and have set up a collection point for the donations and our amazing staff and customers have helped us donate nearly 1000 items to the foodbank.

A huge thank you for the team that have worked so hard on foodbank donations and the success of the Spinathon.  And thank you to everyone who has taken part, bought raffle tickets or donated food.

Bring on 2022 for more events!
