A WINCHESTER dance charity has announced the launch of its March fundraising campaign.

Move Momentum has set a target of £7,000, which will allow it to keep running dance classes for local youngsters, over-65s and wheelchair users.

The charity will be running a series of events throughout the month, including a Danceathon at the University of Southampton, a virtual murder mystery, a jumble sale, afternoon tea and a fancy dress 5k walk.

Amanda Watkinson, project manager at Move Momentum, said: “We’re really excited to kick off our March fundraiser - as a charity we rely on donations and fundraising to keep providing accessible and affordable dance classes for all. For our participants, it’s more than just a dance class, it’s access to a network and community - a place where we encourage everyone to be themselves and have fun.

“Without your support to keep these classes running, our students will lose out on the community and support system that we have worked so hard to create.  At Move Momentum we strive to make sure that our participants always feel supported and that they achieve everything they want to, be it physical fitness or making positive changes that have an impact on their mental health.

“We are looking forward to seeing lots of you there at our events throughout the month. There are lots of rewards up for grabs in return for your donations too - take a look at the list of rewards and see if anything takes your fancy! 

“We’re so thankful for any money you’re able to donate!”
