Richmond Friends
The Fundraising arm of Richmond Gymnastics Association – Supporting the RGA and its Gymnasts!
Richmond Gym Friends is the fundraising arm of Richmond Gymnastics Association. Our aim is to involve parents and gymnasts from all sections of the RGA to help support and raise money for Richmond Gymnastics Association.
Contact our fundraising team to get involved – rgafriends@btopenworld.com
To raise money, Richmond Gymnastics Friends have launched the “Raise the Roof” campaign and we need your help! Please join-in a number of fund raising schemes over the next year.

Kids Corner
Make your own money box
Gymnasts were given a ‘make your own money box’ which they then had to construct.
Gymnasts then filled their decorated money boxes and returned them to their coach.
The winner of challenge 1 was… Issy MacDonald
Smarties Tube Challenge
Gymnasts were given a packet of smarties – the smarties were eaten and the tubes were filled with 20p’s and handed back to the coaching team.
The winner of challenge 2 was… Kira Dunn
