Councillor Crosby - Contract Gym Christmas Giveaway

[Bill Crosby]

I am delighted to be supporting Contract Gym and Fitness in Bedlington Station who again are delivering a Christmas Gift Give Away.  

Gym owner, Lindsey Jordan, is behind the scheme which is now in it’s third year.  Lindsey and her team have been collecting donations of nearly new toys and clothes, as well as unwanted gifts since October.

Over thirty less well off families have been supported in each of the last two years and even more are expected to benefit this year with the gym overflowing with donations.  They include bikes, games, dolls houses, scalextrics, and much more for children and adults.

The Give Away takes place on Sunday 6th December at 4pm and is open to any family in Northumberland that need extra help at Christmas. Track and trace details must be provided and the numbers entering the gym at any one time will be limited in line with Tier 3 restrictions. It is also requested that people “Only take what you need to allow others to do the same.”

This is a brilliant scheme from a local business that despite having a difficult year of trading is still giving something back to the local community. Lindsey has done an amazing job and I would to thank her for all the smiles that she will put on children’s faces on Christmas morning.
