When a local club that's spent years supporting young people and families suddenly finds itself without a permanent home, the local community matters more than ever.

That's why MGA Plumbing & Heating is proud to be backing Apex Taekwondo Greater Manchester as the club works to transform its newly secured premises in Oldham into a permanent home for its members.

And for Mike, this is about more than putting the MGA logo on a sponsorship board. As well as sponsoring the club, he'll also be getting the tools out and helping with the renovation by carrying out the plumbing work for the new toilet facilities.


Apex Taekwondo Oldham: A Club Without a Home


Apex Taekwondo Greater Manchester has built a strong community around the club, providing a place for children, young people and adults to train, develop their skills and build confidence.

After losing their previous training facilities, the club suddenly found itself facing an uncertain future. But rather than letting that stop them, the Apex team, its members and their families have kept pushing forward.

Apex have now secured new premises in Oldham — but there's a big job ahead before they can turn it into the permanent home the club and its members deserve.

Renovation work has yet to begin, and the club is now fundraising to help transform the empty premises into a fully functioning Taekwondo facility.

A New Home — and a New Challenge


The good news is that Apex Taekwondo Greater Manchester has now secured new premises in Oldham — giving the club the opportunity to create a permanent home for its members.

But securing the building is only the beginning.

Renovation work has yet to start, and there's plenty to do before the new facility is ready to welcome members through the doors. The space needs to be transformed into a safe, practical and welcoming environment where the Apex community can train and continue to grow.

That's where the next challenge begins.

Apex is now fundraising to help make the transformation possible, with support from its members, families, local businesses and the wider community.


More Than Just a Logo on a Board

For MGA Plumbing & Heating, supporting Apex is about more than simply putting our logo on a sponsorship board.

When Mike heard about the plans for the new premises and the work needed to get the facility ready, there was an obvious way he could do a little more to help.

As part of the renovation, Mike will be getting the tools out and carrying out the plumbing work for the new toilet facilities — helping Apex take another important step towards opening the doors to its new home.

The work hasn't started yet, but once it does we'll be following the project and sharing the progress along the way.

For Mike, it's a chance to use what he does every day to give something back to a local club that's doing a lot for children, young people, adults and families across the community.

So yes, you'll see the MGA logo on the sponsorship board — but you'll probably see Mike with a spanner in his hand first. 🔧🥋

Supporting the Community We Work In


MGA Plumbing & Heating has always been a local business. Mike lives and works in the area, and many of the customers who support MGA are from the same communities that clubs like Apex serve.

That's why getting involved with Apex felt like a natural fit.

Local sports clubs can play a huge part in their communities, giving children and young people somewhere to train, make friends, build confidence and learn skills that go far beyond sport.

For Mike, supporting Apex isn't about getting something back. It's about being able to use the business — and his trade — to help a local club at a time when that support can make a genuine difference.

And hopefully, when the work is finished and Apex finally opens the doors to its new permanent home, MGA will have played a small part in helping make it happen.


Help Apex Build Their New Home


Apex now has the space it needs to grow — but there's still a big job ahead before the doors can open.

The club is fundraising to transform the new premises in Werneth into a safe, welcoming and fully functioning Taekwondo facility for its members.

The work needed includes new flooring and mats, changing facilities, toilets, safety improvements, decorating and essential training equipment.

Apex has more than 60 members, from complete beginners through to athletes competing at national and international level, and the new facility will give the club the space it needs to continue growing and supporting more people in the local community.

The fundraising target is £25,000, and every contribution — big or small — can help take Apex another step closer to getting its members back on the mats.

If you can't donate, simply sharing the campaign can help too.



Follow the Journey


This is only the beginning of the story.

As Apex begins transforming its new premises in Werneth, we'll be following the project and sharing updates as the new facility starts to take shape — including Mike getting stuck into the plumbing work for the new toilet facilities.

You can also follow Apex Taekwondo Greater Manchester directly to keep up with the club, its members, fundraising and progress on their new home.

We're looking forward to seeing the transformation from an empty premises to a thriving new home for Apex — and eventually seeing their members back on the mats.

Good luck, Team Apex. MGA is proud to be in your corner. 🥋 VISIT APEX TAEKWONDO →
