AFROFIT
What we aim to do:
Promoting physical and mental wellbeing among women.
The Afrofit project’s is delivered with two other women organisations, Angels of Hope and Bollyfit Active CIC. As a partnership of three women organisations, we believe that what we are doing at the local level is so significant as very few interventions have been trialled by voluntary organisations to address the health inequalities. We believe this project will provide valuable learning about real life implications of using health advocates from within BAME communities themselves to enhance women experiences and health lifestyles.
The Afrofit sessions involve women taking part in health chats at the beginning of each session and thereafter 45 minutes of cardio dance (dancing to Afro music) and body weight exercises every Thursday at the Methodist Church, 1 Mercer Road in Gorton. M18 8JR.
