CHRISTMAS APPEAL: Help us continue to hold life-changing strength and balance classes

Christmas is a time to celebrate being together. But for older and more vulnerable people who struggle with their mobility, it can be a tough time.

Our commitment at Step Forward With Lewis CIC is to help those people become stronger, fitter, more flexible and ultimately more confident and independent - something our strength and balance classes facilitate.

We currently hold six classes open for all and two specialist sessions, one for those with cancer and another for people with Parkinson’s.

We've also just launched our Kettles & Conversations meet-ups in Hardingstone and Milton Malsor, providing a place for people to connect and build friendship and community.

All of these classes and catch-ups are held for FREE. They cater for more than 200 people per week, but in order to ensure they continue to be available to all, irrespective of someone's financial situation, we need YOUR help.

These sessions make a real difference to people's lives, but cost close to £1,000 per week.To continue delivering this service we need your generosity.
