We were delighted to receive a donation of £500 from Move it or Lose it with Chris
Christine McGowan is a Specialist Fitness Instructor, delivering exercises classes in her local community for the over 60s at three venues across St Helens.
Last year, Chris celebrated five years of business with a birthday event and it was whilst organising the event, Chris decided all monies raised from ticket sales and the raffle could be donated to a local Dementia Charity in memory of Chris’s Dad who had been living with Dementia until he sadly passed away in December 2018.
Chris and her class members agreed to carry on fundraising throughout the year, and by the end of January 2025 after several raffles and kind donations, they achieved their fundraising target of £1,000.
It was decided to split the amount between The Hargreaves Dementia Trust and Willowbrook Hospice, as quite a few of the members had loved ones cared for by our wonderful team.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped raise this fantastic amount for both charities! We are very grateful!
