We’re very proud to announce that we’ve selected the fantastic Goals Beyond Grass as our chosen charity for 2020; a fellow Gloucestershire-based charity, dedicated to engaging everyone, regardless of physical ability, in social and physical activity.

With supporting access to sport in all forms a cause very close to our hearts, Goals Beyond Grass focuses on engaging the whole community through the vehicle of Powerchair Football; an incredible sport, able to be played by those who are otherwise physically-impaired or wheelchair-bound.

Goals Beyond Grass’s mission focuses around three core values:

  • Sport for All: no one will ever be turned away from physical activities that they run
  • Social and Physical Interaction: encouraging the coming together of likeminded individuals
  • Community: Involving the whole community – whether you be able bodied or disabled

Over the coming year, the Nutrition X team will be taking part in numerous fundraising activities for the charity; from physical endurance challenges to bake sales (using our products!) and taking part in Goals Beyond Grass’s own fundraising events.

James Markey, our MD, commented on what made Goals Beyond Grass stand-out as our choice for this year’s chosen charity:

“Sport isn’t only our specialty here at Nutrition X, but our passion. To discover a charity right here on our doorstep in Gloucestershire that shares this passion by enabling access to sport for those who may otherwise find physical barriers stopping them from participating in team games was amazing, and Goals Beyond Grass was our natural choice as our company charity for 2020.

“As soon as we’re able (current situation permitting!), the whole team is so excited to get started with a host of fundraising activities for the charity. We’re up for anything, so if anyone has any suggestions of any fun physical challenges we can take on to raise as much money as possible, don’t be shy!”
