‘I’m stronger physically and socially’ – help us provide more community activities for people we support

Thanks to some funding from Active London and kind donations from our supporters, The Enterprise hub in Richmond have been able to host a range of activities this year, both in person and online.
Their activities programme is called “A New You”.
Classes on offer include karate, dance, art, creative writing and a wellbeing group.
The sessions are designed to be completely accessible for people we support, enabling them to get active and back into the community again, whilst meeting new people and learning new skills.
We spoke to Alex and Kayleigh to ask them what they like most about their karate classes and why community activities like these are so important for them:
