We just received confirmation that the permit is approved and VIP HQ is officially saved. This place is my life and I cannot put into words how much it means to know we keep our doors open for the families who rely on us. Thank you for choosing to fight …

We have currently been refused planning permission on our government appeal - we are now in our last 6 months to save VIP HQ and we need to do everything in our power to make these amazing facilities happen - If you have experienced our services you will know how special this place is - a place for everyone to keep fit in the indoors or outdoor whilst learning the importance of health & fitness! From children, families, disabilities, mental health and the usual keep fitters it would be a travesty if we didn’t get the green light in moving forward in developing our facilities! Please sign our petition & kindly ask your friends/family to sign too - we appreciate your ongoing support!!

Much love Team VIP x

Seeing one hundred people recognize the value of VIP HQ honestly takes my breath away. This place is my life and knowing others feel the same makes this fight feel possible.

The past few days have been spent reviewing your messages and reflecting on just how many lives have been touched by this space. Seeing the stories from families who rely on our services reminds me why I fought so hard to build this place from the ground up. We are pushing forward behind the scenes with our legal team to ensure our doors stay open.

Danny works very hard and puts his sole effort into each work. VIP HQ helped me loose weight and tone when I was training and I would love to get back to Danny and HQ in 2019 when I am back in the area and to hear that I might not be able to is tragic.

This centre is an amazing service for all the community to enjoy- having worked for a children and young peoples charity for over 20 years- it always seems to me that certain Essex and London councils want to stop anything that they have no control over-

This gym is helping the community in so many different ways, the council/ government moan about today’s youth yet this gym is helping keep youth on the right track and giving them something to be proud of. Don’t take away this important community gym

Please help save VIP, we are proud to sponsor them and we believe in supporting local businesses. The levels they go to to help people not just with fitness but in all aspects of life. Such a great environment and they go the extra mile for whoever you are.

Absolutely fantastic gymnasium and outdoor activities for all aspects of fitness, including facilitating for children and adults with learning difficulties and disablements. Can’t believe that I am having to even sign a petition for this fabulous establishment.

We need these places. It's so different to normal gym and makes exercise fun.
