Next was Kev’s Winning Fitness, which taught gentle Tai Chi and provided a relaxing, mindful experience.

Some of the team demonstrated the higher levels for beginners to see.

Aspire Sussex provided its Keep Fit class, which was a mixture of pilates, yoga and stretching, followed by Liz Cullimore’s Fitness Fusion, a combination of pilates, ballet barre and dance, with fun routines including the Charleston and the jive. Finally, Swoove Fitness rounded off the day with its singalong exercise class. For many this was a great opportunity to try the activities for the first time.

The next Welcome Back Fund event, Fun in February, will involve Ice Skating, live music and a photo booth in the town centre on Saturday, February 12.
