- Reducing Isolation by creating a safe space for all.
- Gentle Exercise to promote physical health.
- Creative Workshops to spark imagination.
- Building Confidence through shared learning.

What’s Next?
The “Active & Connected” program is just getting started! We have a full calendar of events planned, including sewing workshops, group exercises, and social mixers.

Pure Support Wins Community Fund Grant for “Active & Connected” Project
Pure Support is proud to announce that we’ve secured £9,300 from the Awards For All for our “Active & Connected” project. This initiative provides a free, culturally sensitive space for 50-70 ethnic minority women and girls in the Streatham and Tooting areas. The program features fortnightly exercise walks in local parks alongside monthly creative workshops focused on sewing and traditional arts. To ensure full accessibility, health seminars on wellbeing and self-care will be delivered in local language. Activities will take place in familiar local venues like mosque rooms and community halls to maintain a safe, welcoming environment. Our goal is to reduce isolation and build lasting friendships through these regular, bilingual sessions. Finally, we thank The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting our mission to help local women thrive and stay active.
