Central Galaxy Coventry Trampoline Club was established in 2013 and has grown into a well-established and successful club at national as well as regional level.
In addition to providing high-quality training in a fun and encouraging environment, the club runs a popular and extensive home education curriculum to support neurodivergent children who struggle in a school environment.
The programme supports learning, independence and core strength through a range of physical activities.
As a Stockton resident, General Gymnastics Coach Joanne Harvey wasn’t just aware of the Wigley Community Fund, but knew it had been extended to individuals and groups across a larger area, making Central Galaxy eligible for support.
Joanne, whose eldest child has additional needs, duly applied for a grant to fund wobble boards to boost balance, brightly-coloured arrows to direct youngsters between workstations and rubber markers instructing them where to put their hands and feet.
Joanne said: “These items have given the children a level of independence, which is just so important, and have enabled us to better distribute our coaches so we can take on more children.”
The grant also funded sensory items for children to play with at rest stations and calming areas to further encourage self-regulation and separation from parents and carers.
