MATERIAL SUPPORT

What does it take to keep our classes running?

You would be amazed to learn about the amount of material resources that are required to keep our gyms and projects happening!

All locations, except Paris, are situated in a gym space and require ongoing cleaning, maintenance and equipment. Even classes in Parc de la Villette (in Paris) mean bags full of boxing pads and gloves!). Most often, our community members also attend classes with minimal personal belongings, having travelled long distances before arriving in Greece and France. As such, we provide students with everything they need to join our sports! That includes gym shirts, gym shorts, sports bras, sport shoes, boxing gloves, hand wraps, socks, lockers… you name it – we’ve probably provided it! To keep this process hygienic and comfortable, our coordinators, managers and volunteers are also responsible for preparing (washing and sanitising) the shared equipment and materials for classes and activities. It’s a ongoing cycle!

MATERIAL SUPPORT

YSR requires materials on an ongoing basis to keep gyms open, students moving, coaches teaching and staff… staffing.

  • Are you a gym owner with excess equipment and no place to send it?
  • Are you a local business with too many clothes or shoes?
  • Are you looking to support a donation-based non-profit sport organisation?

Use this page to see what YSR is in desperate need of and support us with material contributions! We assure you… they will be well-loved and play a key role in enabling people on the move to join regular sport and yoga classes.

WHAT TO DONATE?

What better way to help than by materially supporting others to become #strongertogether!
