The Power of Community ✨
A massive thank you to The Smith Foundation who have, through an incredible gesture of kindness, donated a defibrillator to us.
We have worked closely with the William Henry Smith School this academic year, delivering both quality of life sessions to staff and our Box Champions programme with students.
As a community, we cycled 4035km and raised £460. The money raised will go towards installation of an outdoor cabinet so that the defibrillator is accessible to the public.

November 2023 - Santa Dash
We are raising money to buy a much needed defibrillator to be placed outside the gym for public access.
To achieve this we are cycling 4035km - the distance from Brighouse to the North Pole, to raise money to buy a defibrillator.
Everyone can get involved, just share the km you have travelled to the Santa Dash board.
Donations can be made on our crowdfunder page: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/santa-dash---race-to-the-north-pole
