Following the recent reopening of the Basement Floor in The Harpur Centre, a community-focused mural celebrating Captain Sir Thomas Moore was installed to coincide with the grand opening of Energie Fitness Bedford.
In line with the grand opening of Energie Fitness
Gym, the Harpur Centre team surprised visitors with a fantastic tribute to
Captain Sir Thomas Moore, NHS staff and key
workers to celebrate the enormous community spirit across the town during the
pandemic.
The town is immensely proud of local resident and WW2 veteran, Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised over £32million in donations for NHS Charities Together.
His Grandson, Benjamin, who attends Bedford School created the ‘100 laps’ concept and ran Captain Tom’s social media pages, further heightening the meaning behind the mural for the people of Bedford and across the county.
On the day, the Energie Fitness Gym team were also giving out spot prizes and gifts for both members and non-members, a stunning balloon archway was installed and a grand ribbon-cutting took place to open the doors to eagerly anticipating visitors.
Ryan Harris, Deputy Centre Manager, commented: “We are delighted to have installed our fantastic mural to celebrate the national and local hero, Captain Sir Tom Moore, as well as all of our heroes across Bedford.
“With the launch of the mural and opening of Energie Fitness Gym, it was brilliant to see an abundance of positivity within the Centre after a few difficult months.
“We are so proud of the people of Bedford, and it is wonderful to give something back to the town in return for their understanding and support, not just through recent times, but always.”
