Stelrad Radiators has provided a number of radiators for an enterprising new community gym and youth hub in Leonard Street, Hull which officially opened on 12th January.
The Peel Project received £32,000 worth of gym equipment from its national partners, Places Leisure and set about providing a facility in Hull that would lead to increasing physical activity to reduce health inequalities in the city by providing, amongst other things, gym sessions to woman and young children, a cheap gym membership for all and subsidised or free gym membership for the over 55s in the city, subject to grants.
Managing Director Jamal Choudhury said: “We hope this facility will lead to people who do not partake in physical activity and have barriers to entry to start all kinds of physical exercise and of course having a hub for people to use as a safe place, to help reduce isolation and to begin to socialise, keeping young people off the streets is all part of what we are trying to do here. We are hugely grateful to Stelrad for their support in getting this new facility off the ground.”
Stelrad’s Marketing Director for the UK and Ireland Chris Harvey says: “ We have a good reputation in the industry and in Yorkshire for being supportive of worthy causes and we were delighted to be able to provide a number of our Compact radiators free of charge to this exciting project in Hull, just down the road from our South Yorkshire base in Mexborough.”
