From 14th March to 25th April Curves Clubs will be running a Food Drive to help the local community in times of difficulty. This is an initiative that seeks to motivate new and existing members and to give a helping hand to those most in need, while improving health and fitness.

As well as donating the goods to our chosen charities, at the end of April Curves will be cooking a hot meal for the homeless close to each club location. Anyone willing to participate, regardless of their interest in becoming new members, are welcomed to join the cause and turn individual actions into a great common goal.
