Vibe Dance Fitness are launching a six-week programme in Redcar this Friday the 2nd of October.

All six sessions are completely free to participants.

Places are funded through the Community Wellbeing Partnership (CWP), and the programme is delivered in partnership with Footprints in the Community.

Sessions run every Friday from 12.30pm to 1.30pm at Newcomen Methodist Church Community Hall, Mersey Road, Redcar, from the 2nd of October to the 6th of November.

Vibe is beginner-friendly, welcoming and deliberately low-pressure.

No dance experience is needed, people can choose their own intensity, movements can be adapted, and the focus is simply on moving, enjoying the music and feeling part of a supportive group.

Booking is preferred, but there will also be a limited number of walk-in places available.

People can book here:

Six free beginner-friendly Vibe Dance Fitness sessions in Redcar, Fridays 12:30–1:30pm from 2 October to 6 November 2026. Adults 18+. Book your funded place.

On Wednesday 16 September — National Fitness Day — is getting on its bikes and not getting off until we've clocked up one million metres.

We're Grangetown United Community hub and we're doing this alongside WatFit and Grangetown Amateur Boxing Club. Four bikes, one community. From 5:30 in the morning until 7:00 at night, people of all ages will take turns — jump on, clock up some metres, and hand over to the next person. We keep going all day until we hit a million.

We're doing it because our community is grieving. Natalie McDonald and her seven-year-old niece, Valentina Foster, lost their lives in a house fire here in Grangetown — two of our own, taken far too soon. Behind that loss is a family facing the unimaginable, and they are our neighbours.

Every penny raised goes through FROG (Future Regeneration of Grangetown, registered charity 1084817) and straight to the family, to help with what lies ahead.

Here's how you can help:

Donate here — any amount, it all counts toward that million.
Sponsor a rider — grab a sponsor sheet at the Hub.
Come and ride — Wednesday 16 September, from 5:30am, Grangetown Community Hub. Everyone welcome.
Share this page — the more people who see it, the more we raise.

Call into the Hub any time and speak to Lynn or Carol.

Let's pull together and support our own.
