The Gentle Gym would like to say a huge thank-you to all of you for making our Tea and Coffee Morning and raffle such a great success! This wonderful event raised £505 to support us! A special thanks to Carol and to Steve for organising, and a huge thank-you to everyone who contributed both to the raffle and collections and activities on the day. We still have a few unclaimed raffle prizes in Reception, so do take a look when you're in next and see if you're a winner. Although it's hot, the gym is air-conditioned so don't let the high temperatures stop you from visiting. Please remember to stay well-hydrated whether you're at the gym, out and about or relaxing at home. Stay well and have a lovely weekend! x
