Your Trust in the Community celebrates 10 year anniversary
Your Trust in the Community celebrates 10 years of delivering low cost, pay as you go community exercise classes to local residents in the borough.
In 2013, Your Trust was granted £204,681 of National Lottery funding aimed at increasing adult participation in sport and physical activity. The initial funding was for three years, but due to the success of the project, we’re delighted that the community classes are still running sustainably seven years after the funding ended.
The funding has enabled Your Trust to deliver activities such as Zumba Basic, Yoga, Badminton, Walking Netball, Couch 2 5k over the past ten years. The activities are fun, friendly, social, low cost, pay-as-you-go with no membership. Thousands of local residents have benefitted over the years; forming new friendships, finding a new hobby, losing weight, making positive lifestyle changes and becoming active.
Co-ordinator Sarah Shard said, “It’s been an honour to co-ordinate this successful programme. Many projects are often unable to continue beyond funding but we’re extremely proud that Your Trust community classes are still running successfully ten years on. It’s been fantastic to meet so many lovely people over the years and hearing of the benefits that they’ve received from participating. I’d like to personally thank all of our fantastic instructors, staff and participants who have been part of this journey so far”.
