Our Festive Fundraiser at the Life Centre Islington on Saturday 14th December was a great success. There were two yoga classes, a raffle and brownies provided by Planet Organic.
The turn-out was fantastic and five of our service users came, as well as one husband and child, who all took part in the classes.
It was really moving to see everyone there in support of what we’re doing at Hackney Yoga Project. Thank you so much to everyone who attended, to the brilliant teachers Lisa Kaley-Isley, Sarah Scharf, Melanie Cooper and Norman Blair, to Anne Malone for her beautiful music, and to everyone else who helped make it happen.
The funds raised will be used in our work to enable refugee women and those seeking asylum in London to practise yoga in a safe and supportive community space, where English lessons and nourishing food are also provided. The amount raised is still to be confirmed but we’ll let you know as soon as we do!
