At Christmas, The Movement Centre were asked to support a local rotary group on the Santa sleigh tour.  We had a team of 9 who joined some rotary members to walk around the streets of Oswestry, where families could come out and see Santa on his sleigh. 

We had great fun, and seeing the children’s faces as Santa flew by on his sleigh, it was a picture.  Oswestry Cambrian Rotary provide Santa and Sleigh for the annual Christmas Parade in Oswestry on the first Saturday in December. Then they collect money around the streets of Oswestry and surrounding villages up to Christmas eve. Money collected is distributed to local charities and organisations and other charities supported by Rotary.

Curtis, Fundraising and Marketing Officer from The Movement Centre went along to the cheque presentation at Oswestry Cricket Club. It was a great evening where over 10 charities collected a share of the donations. We can’t thank the rotary club enough.

New year resolutions are something everyone does. Some people start running, some give up chocolate, others set themselves a challenge. The normal challenges people set themselves are marathons, triathlons, eating challenges, giving up challenges, but this challenge is something new.

Kyle Worrall, of Shrewsbury has set himself the challenge of completing 5,000 Press-Ups or more within an allotted time, and all in the name of charity. Kyle works as a care assistant and fitness instructor in Shrewsbury, and wanted to use his fitness background to complete this fitness challenge. Kyle said “I wanted to do a challenge that seemed impossible, to prove to myself and others that you can accomplish more than you think”.

He then continued “I wanted to do this challenge for charity and chose The Movement Centre because they give children a shot at a better quality of life. The Movement Centre teaches them that they can achieve more than what others think they can, and this is something that I value a lot”.

This 12 hour push up challenge will take place on 22^nd February at Anytime Fitness in Shrewsbury and Kyle is inviting any fitness fanatics to join him in his fundraising, and join him for an hour of press ups. If you would like to join Kyle then get in touch with The Movement Centre.

After visiting The Movement Centre, and learning more about the work they do, Kyle wanted to raise enough money to cover half a course of therapy for one child. Kyle would like to invite anyone wanting to sponsor him to complete this challenge to donate through his JustGiving page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/kyle-worrall, or sponsorship forms at Anytime Fitness Gym.
