The Athena Meet : Lifting the bar for charity
‘The Athena Meet’ originally a small intimate event, was designed to give new lifters the chance to lift on the platform in a simulated ‘Powerlifting Meet’ setting. After the success of the first 3 meets, we decided to expand the events to allow outside new lifters to join in on the fun!
The subsequent growth of the events gave us the idea to make every Athena Meet a Charity Event. We lift for a different charity every time, chosen by our lifters. We have so far helped charities such as Circle (local Edinburgh based charity), SAMH; the Scottish Association for Mental Health, and YoungMinds.
Not only are we proud of our hard work, we have also received such great feedback from participants, some of which have even used their newfound confidence to sign up as official lifters with Scottish Powerlifting!
