Not the news we were hoping for today ☹️
Unfortunately, our application to the Ongo Community Grants programme wasn’t successful this time. It’s disappointing, but we know how many amazing groups applied, and we’re proud to be among them.
That said… we are NOT giving up 💪
We’re moving forward with creating our new judo club space, and I’ll be selling most of my mini gym equipment to help fund what we need to get it up and running.
This club means a lot to us and to the young people in our community. It’s a voluntary-run club, built on passion, inclusion, and giving people a place to belong.
🙏 We’re now reaching out to our community:
Is there anyone who could help in any way?
We’re looking for:
• Materials (mats, flooring, building supplies, etc.)
• Skilled labour (joiners, electricians, general help)
• Donations or sponsorship
• Or even just sharing this post to spread the word
Every bit of support, big or small, will make a real difference.
If you can help or know someone who can, please drop me a message ❤️
Let’s make this happen together
