Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Female boxer Ellie Harbinson organised the event at The Croft, Hydes Road, as part of her campaign to build a new gym in a part of The Gambia she visited in March.<\/p>\n

There was a bungee jump, games, food, facepainting, glitter tattoos, raffles and a tombola at the fun day on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old, who has just finished a physical education degree at Wolverhampton University, said: “It was such a fab day. Thank you so much to everyone who came to The Croft, and thanks to everyone at the pub which is a great place to go in Wednesbury.<\/p>\n

“We raised \u00a3740 on the day which we will add to the \u00a31000 we already raised to send over a container full of gym equipment. So many people helped on the day and I am so grateful for everyone’s help.”<\/p>\n

“The poverty is so bad in The Gambia I just felt I had to do something so we are setting up a gym over there, I will be returning in November.”<\/p>\n
