Help Us Build the First Calisthenics Park in NE of England
Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Jason Gutsell, and I am a passionate calisthenics athlete and coach. I am reaching out to you with an exciting vision: to establish the very first calisthenics park and outdoor gym in the Northeast of England, right in my hometown of Seaham.
My journey with calisthenics began five years ago in London. What drew me in was not just the physical fitness aspect but the incredible sense of community it fostered. Calisthenics parks in London brought people together from all walks of life, creating a vibrant, strong & supportive community.
At these parks, I met people of all ages, races, and backgrounds. Many of them found a positive path through training at these parks, some have avoiding negative influences like gangs and crime. Some have even gone on to achieve amazing things, including sponsorships from major brands. Their stories are a testament to the transformative power of these community spaces.
A calisthenics park / outdoor gym, is more than just a place to exercise. It's a hub for community building, personal development, and fostering a sense of belonging. It offers opportunities for people to learn new skills, improve their health, and build a supportive network.
Despite the numerous parks in London, Manchester, Scotland, and other parts of the UK, the Northeast currently has none. Now that I am back in Seaham, I am on a mission to change that and bring these benefits to our community.
I need your help to make this vision a reality. Please consider donating whatever you can to help us build this vital community resource. Your support can bring lasting benefits to Seaham, it can change life’s create opportunities and foster a positive, healthy community.
Thank you for your generosity and support.
