Sarah Greenall Yoga's Yoga for Charity event has been an incredible success, raising a staggering £15,443 so far. This event not only promotes the practice of yoga but also the values it teaches, such as non-violence, compassion, love, acceptance, and peace.
Every term, Sarah Greenall Yoga holds a Charity Week where all the class fees collected from a week's teaching, along with additional donations, are passed on to various charities. The aim is to make a difference and show gratitude for all that we have.
One of the charities that has greatly benefited from this event is the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, with an impressive £6,394 raised so far. This money goes towards supporting a world-leading cancer centre that pioneers new treatments and provides the best diagnosis, treatment, and care for their patients. We are proud to support such a noble cause in memory of Sarah Mandow, a former attendee of the classes who had a deep love for yoga.
Another charity that Sarah Greenall Yoga has supported is Hampton & Hampton Hill Voluntary Care, an organisation based at The Greenwood Community Centre in Hampton Hill. With a sum of £1,485 raised, this charity offers crucial support to local people experiencing loneliness and social exclusion. Their services, such as volunteer car transport, welfare parcels, and telephone support, play a vital role in enhancing the community. The raised funds will also aid in maintaining the Greenwood Community Centre, a valuable hub for the area.
In addition to these incredible achievements, the Yoga for Charity event has also raised £937 for the DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal. These funds are earmarked for supporting the relief efforts in southern Turkey and north-west Syria, where devastating earthquakes have left many people without shelter and access to clean water. The DEC charities, along with their local partners, are working tirelessly to provide much-needed food and clean water to those affected.
Lastly, thanks to the support and generosity of the participants, the event has raised £3,853 for Action Breaks Silence. This educational charity is dedicated to creating a world free from violence against women and girls. Through self-defence workshops for women and girls, as well as workshops addressing toxic masculinity with men and boys, Action Breaks Silence aims to educate, engage, and empower communities to put an end to such violence.
Donations are gratefully accepted for all the supported charities at this remarkable event. By joining Sarah Greenall Yoga's Yoga for Charity, you not only get to enjoy the benefits of yoga but also make a positive impact on the lives of others. Let's come together, support these incredible causes, and make a difference in our community and beyond.
