Exciting News…When Women Gather receives Sport England award for new fitness and wellbeing project, Moving Forward!
We are thrilled to announce that When Women Gather has received a prestigious award from Sport England to launch our brand-new fitness and wellbeing project, Moving Forward! This is a huge achievement for us, and we couldn’t be more proud. The funding will allow us to continue delivering engaging and inclusive activities that keep our communities in Nottingham and Mansfield active, happy, and healthy.
About Moving Forward
This exciting project will offer a variety of fun and dynamic fitness classes designed for women of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. In some sessions, women will even be able to bring along their children and partners, creating a safe and supportive space for everyone to get active together. At the heart of Moving Forward is our commitment to creating an inclusive environment where every woman feels welcome, encouraged, and empowered to take charge of her health and wellbeing.
Why Regular Exercise Matters
Regular exercise offers countless benefits for physical, mental, and emotional health. Here are just a few reasons why staying active is so important:
Boosts Mood: Exercise releases endorphins, which help to reduce stress and anxiety, while boosting overall happiness and wellbeing.
Increases Energy: Physical activity improves energy levels and helps combat fatigue, making it easier to get through the day.
Strengthens Heart and Muscles: Regular exercise is great for cardiovascular health and helps build and tone muscles, improving overall strength and endurance.
Supports Mental Health: Exercise has been shown to improve mental clarity, reduce symptoms of depression, and enhance cognitive function.
Promotes Social Connection: Group fitness classes provide an opportunity to connect with others, build friendships, and feel part of a supportive community.
Genres of Dance Workshops
One of the most exciting aspects of Moving Forward is the variety of dance workshops we’ll be offering! Each class will be led by experienced instructors who will introduce participants to different styles of movement from around the world, including:
Samba: Feel the rhythm and energy of Brazil with this joyful and expressive dance form.
Bhangra: Get your heart pumping with the energetic moves of this traditional Punjabi folk dance.
Belly Dance: Embrace your body and learn graceful movements that improve core strength and flexibility.
Jazz and Contemporary Dance: Enjoy a mix of expressive dance styles that combine technique, creativity, and fun.
West African Dance: Experience the vibrancy of African culture through powerful and rhythmic dance moves.
These classes will not only be a fun way to stay active, but they will also help participants explore different cultures, boost their confidence, and make new friends.
Looking Ahead
We are so proud to have the support of Sport England to bring this project to life, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact Moving Forward will have on women and their families in Nottingham and Mansfield. Whether you’re looking to try something new, get fit, or simply connect with others in a welcoming environment, this project will offer something for everyone.
Stay tuned for more details on how to participate in these sessions and join us in keeping our communities active and thriving. Together, we are moving forward towards a healthier, happier future!
