A SELECTION of new equipment is to be purchased at a Flintshire leisure facility thanks to a cash boost from a car manufacturer.

Lindop Toyota, as part of an ongoing partnership with Aura Wales, has donated £500 to Deeside Leisure Centre in order to purchase additional exercise equipment.

The equipment will benefit Aura’s National Exercise Referral Scheme (NERS) members, as well as those who attend Wellbeing fitness classes.

The Wellbeing fitness classes cater for beginners, or those with health conditions, who want to become more active.

Equipment to be provided as a result of the donation includes dumbbells, back care cushions and heart rate monitors.

Alex Rea, marketing manager at Lindop Toyota, said: "We are proud to support Aura Wales and I am pleased that our donation will benefit people in the local community. Earlier this year, we secured funding for Deeside Leisure Centre from the Toyota Fund for a Better Tomorrow, so it is great to meet with visitors to the centre and see the difference it is making to their lives."

The Toyota AYGO and C-HR (pictured) are available to customers through the Motability scheme.

Lee Breeze, Deeside Leisure Centre’s development officer, shared his gratitude to Lindop Toyota on behalf of Aura.

He said: "I would like to thank Lindop Toyota for their continued support and the additional equipment for our NERS programme.

"I’m delighted to see our partnership with Lindop Toyota go from strength to strength and look forward to working together on future projects."
