Presents Galore is proud to support three wonderful local charities for the third year running, namely Newmarket Charitable Foundation (NCF), the National Horseracing Museum and the Cambridge Children’s Hospital.
Donating over £20,000 to each just last year alone, we’re proud to see the developments and influence each is having in our community. Newmarket Charitable Foundation recently opened a brand-new outdoor gym at The Severals, showcases exactly why their work is so important to the community.
The gym, developed in partnership with Newmarket Town Council and with the support of Aviva and local insurance specialists Yutree Insurance, offers free, inclusive fitness equipment for adults of all ages and abilities. Conveniently located near the pavilion, the facility is now open and already helping local people stay active and connected.
From accessible multi-gym stations to health walkers, ski slaloms, and sky steppers, the equipment – installed by Sunshine Gym – is designed to encourage fitness for everyone, regardless of age or ability.
This project is a shining example of NCF’s mission to enhance health, wellbeing, and community spirit in Newmarket. Whether it’s supporting local youth initiatives, promoting physical activity, or strengthening community ties, the Foundation works tirelessly to improve quality of life for all who live in the town.
Josh Schunmann, CEO of Newmarket Charitable Foundation, said: “This outdoor gym is about more than just fitness – it’s about creating a space where the community can come together, stay healthy, and feel supported. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make it happen, especially Kevin Hancock of Yutree Insurance for securing vital backing from Aviva.
“Looking ahead, we’ll be working with Abbeycroft Leisure, The Racing Centre, and local youth workers to provide free training and guided sessions, making sure residents feel confident using the equipment and supported in their wellbeing journey.”
Kevin Hancock, Chief Executive of Yutree Insurance**, added:
Presents Galore is honoured to support Newmarket Charitable Foundation and help shine a light on the impactful projects they lead.
