Tell us a bit more about your idea.
My idea is to open a gymnastics club in a central location that will enable everyone to get involved and active. There will be different class for all ages. the main purposes of the club would be to get everyone taking part and enjoying themselves.
How will your idea make a difference to people’s lives?
My idea would make a difference to peoples lives as it would be part of the community. It would get people together in a fun atmosphere and would be beneficial to their health. The club would encourage children from all backgrounds and ages to have try at gymnastics. It would also encourage parents and other adults to join in other classes and be part of a committee aiming to provide the best for the club and community. The club would also help develop peoples knowledge of the sport and hopefully produce new coaches.
Do you have any concerns with making your idea happen?
Opening a gymnastics club is quite expensive. The only really problem is finding a building that is able to hold the volume of equipment need in the sport and finding the support needed to help raise the money for the equipment.
Why do you think you’re the right person to make this idea a success?
I think I am the right person to make this idea succeed as I was a gymnast myself and know the benefits of taking part in the sport. I competed internationally for my country and was titled Scottish Champion many times. This has always been a dream of mine and I am determined to make it happen!
