Cool Summers, Warm Winters

CROWDFUNDER

We also have a live Crowdfunder to raise money for the same cause - heating and air conditioning for the Chapel Gym.  Please kindly consider donating to this.  Aviva will match fund anything you give, so it will be doubled.  And if we can raise £7,500 from our supporters Sport England will put in another £7,500.  So your support would be SO appreciated

Together we built the Chapel Gym. Together we’ll make it fit for the future.

Although the Chapel Gym is loved by its members, the building is difficult (and ridiculously expensive) to heat in winter and can become uncomfortably hot in summer. This affects the experience of members, staff and volunteers.  This recent heatwave has reinforced how important it is to resolve the cooling and heating in the Chapel Gym. 

We have obtained a quote for air source heat pumps, which would provide both heating and cooling. This would make the gym more comfortable, more energy-efficient and more usable throughout the year.  This is not a nice-to-have. The Chapel Gym needs to remain comfortable, welcoming, safe and sustainable for everyone who uses it now and for future generations.

Good heating is particularly important in winter, when exercising in a cold space can increase the risk of injury. A current survey of Chapel Gym members says resoundingly that members No. 1 priority for improvement is temperature control. Let's make this happen!

We operate the site at Wheathampstead United Church, Brewhouse Hill, Wheathampstead. There are four elements to the Chapel Hub - The Chapel Gym, The Chapel Halls, The Community Kitchen and the Wheathampstead United Church. Our aims are to promote health, wellbeing and healthy living in our community. Our community, not-for-profit gym offers a unique, friendly place to train and exercise and to get advice and guidance to improve fitness and long term health for everybody. We welcome people of all abilities and levels of fitness. The Chapel Halls is a meeting space for groups, clubs and classes in the village, especially those fostering fitness, support and emotional wellbeing, friendship or support for those in need. The Community Kitchen meets once a month to offer a freshly-cooked community meal on a pay-what-you-can basis to anyone in the village. And to teach the skills of preparing simple nutritious meals from donated ingredients. Wheathampstead United Church meets to worship on the premises.
