Full description
To provide new beginners classes for new mums and other women, with crèche facilities and to attract and train new leaders. Also to organise a training camp as part of IWD. A grant would be used to organise 3 new beginners classes and a class for new Mums so that women in the community feel less isolated as the barriers for participation in sport are removed. The women's fitness and mental health would be helped through the group exercise. A crèche would allow women to improve their fitness while their children are cared for. The grant would also allow the group to purchase mobile phones for the leaders to use in cases of emergency. New leaders would be trained with a grant and this would help to allow more women to take part in the classes, thus increasing the benefit to the community.
