Donna Botting, an instructor from Crawley, together with Horsham Zumba’s Sarah, will be running the special charity Zumbathon on Sunday 19th March at Ifield Community Centre.

They are keen to get as many local Zumba enthusiasts as possible to come along and join in the session, which will run from 10.30am to 12 noon.

The event is all in aid of family support charity Home-Start CHAMS, which supports hundreds of local children each year.

Their team of trained volunteers work with families across Crawley, Horsham and Mid-Sussex, visiting them in their homes each week.

They help parents struggling with issues such as isolation, disability or poverty, to overcome the challenges they are facing and give their young children the best possible start in life.

“Community support with fundraising events like this is vital for us to be able to continue offering our services and helping the young children who need us,” commented Aneliese Whittaker, the charity’s community fundraiser.
