AUTUMN 2025
We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a Sport England #MovementFund to continue develop perinatal activity, including Dance Mama Moves with Laura Harvey, strengthen and stretch with Lisa Upton Atma Alchemy in partnership with Surrey Sports Park, Surrey University across the next academic year.
🤰🏽 This will enable us to build on the existing provision pioneered by the wonderful Carly Pearson, Active Wellbeing Manager at Surrey Sports Park, working together to enable continued free access to a pre and postnatal fitness programme at locations in Guildford.
- This activity provides expectant and new mums and their families with a pathway to physical activity which will positively impact their mental and physical health.
- With specialist delivery we are creating activity that would otherwise not be accessible to our target group.
- We create wonderful, supportive communities.
“[Dance Mama Moves} has been really helpful for my mental health as well as my bond with Milly.” - participant
