OUR SUPPORTERS<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We have been indebted to the support of a range of grant funding organisations and businesses who have enabled us to provide our strength and balance classes for free. Without their vital backing, we would be unable to help those older and more vulnerable people in society get fitter, stronger, more confident and increasingly independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we also receive the invaluable support of everyone who donates to our fundraising efforts or comes to our event. Every football card, every sponsored run, every penny, and every bit of backing we get makes the world of difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you all.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
