✨ Crowdfunder Update – We’re Now at £2,461! ✨

We are absolutely blown away by the continued support. Thanks to you all, we’ve now reached £2,461 on our Crowdfunder! 🙌

That means we’re just £39 away from hitting £2,500… 👀

Who’s going to be the person that takes us over that milestone? 💛 Imagine being the one to say “I got them to £2,500!” Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference.

To unlock our match funding from Sport England, we need to raise £7,500 ourselves. This is an all or nothing campaign — we only receive the match funding if we hit that £7,500 target.

We’re raising funds to expand our facilities and add three new power-assisted exercise machines, helping even more older people in our local community stay active, independent and connected.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, now is the perfect moment. And if you can’t donate, please give this post a share and like our page — it really does help.

Let’s smash £2,500… and keep pushing towards £7,500 together 💪

We’re incredibly grateful to our local MP, Kim Leadbeater, for taking the time to visit us here in Mirfield and see first-hand the impact Active Gold is having in our community.

It was a pleasure to show you around, introduce you to some of our amazing members, and talk about how we’re helping older adults stay active, independent and connected. Your support and interest in what we’re building here means a great deal to us.

Thank you again for coming down and shining a light on the work we’re doing for the people of Mirfield and the surrounding areas 💛

🎉 We’re live! Our Active Gold Crowdfunder has officially launched 🎉

If you’ve ever walked into Active Gold and seen the smiles, the chats, and the “I didn’t think I could do that” moments — this is what it’s all about 💛

Active Gold CIC supports over-50s through power-assisted exercise, helping people move more comfortably, build confidence, and stay socially connected. We’re proud of what we do… and now we’re ready to take the next step.

💪 What this crowdfunder will help us do

- Expand our space

- Add more specialist exercise machines

- Create more session availability

- Help more people

💡 How the crowdfunder works (important bit!)
When you pledge, your card is charged straight away, but the money is held securely by Crowdfunder:

✅ If we hit our target, the funds are released to us

❌ If we don’t, your pledge is automatically refunded

So it’s a bit like saying “I’m in — if you make it happen” 🙌

🎁 We’ve also got some great rewards
Including Buy a Brick, Sponsor a Machine, and supporter options for individuals and businesses — every pledge helps build something lasting for our community.

If donating isn’t for you (no pressure at all), sharing this post or the link helps just as much.
