Move into Wellbeing To Offer New Classes at Hogarth Youth Centre
Charity receives funding for over 60's dance and movement
Move into Wellbeing (MiW) has been given funding which will allow it to significantly expand its activities in Chiswick.
The charity, which was founded in Chiswick in 2015, provides Dance and Movement classes for people with mobility restrictions.
The grant from Hounslow Council's Thriving Communities Fund will help support Over 60’s dance and movement classes in Chiswick
MiW works with those with Parkinson’s, ME, MS, Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Dyspraxia, Early-stage Dementia, and Long COVID as well as those with general stiffness, balance, and joint problems. The class is taught by specially trained dance industry professionals and is done seated to musical accompaniment, and can be adapted to individual needs. Ballet4Life oversees these enriching programmes.
During the last two years, MiW developed an online programme in order to keep people moving and healthy at home. This runs concurrently with classes held in-person in Chiswick at St. Peter’s Parish Hall on Southfield Road, at the Musical Museum in Brentford for the Hounslow Seniors Trust, at St Mary’s Osterley, and at four different sheltered accommodation schemes in Hounslow as part of the London Borough of Hounslow Over 60’S Activities Programme.
The Thriving Communities Fund support will help deliver a MiW class for Over 60’s at the Hogarth Youth Centre on Duke’s Road, W4, during 2022. These classes will be open to public and commence on Tuesday 18 January, 2022, from 1.45pm – 2.45pm.
Due to the funding provided, this new class can be enjoyed for only £2 payable on the day on the door or by bank transfer. To register contact them on info@moveintowellbeing.org.uk.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
