On Monday 25th June the Managing Directors and Management of J'amies Gymnastics Academy represented the Company at 'The Shampan Foundation' charity event.
The Foundation has been set up as a result of seeing the potential for social change through sport. The founders, Sufian Miah and Rubel Ahmed, have seen how the power of sport has changed the lives of many young people as well as seeing how sport can open up pathways forward in areas such as training, education, employment and volunteering. Sport also opens young people up to a wider community that can help encourage and inspire them to change, develop and grow. In third world countries this is equally mirrored to the UK; however the challenges faced by young people is a growing concern due to poverty, hunger, health and social deprivation.
Through the sale of event tickets, they raised £10,000 and a further £500 was raised on the evening through the sale of raffle tickets. Teamed with private and individual donations that have been made in the weeks leading up to the Shampan Foundation Launch, as well as those made on the evening, the total amount raised by the Launch was £12,000.
