Mondays from 6pm -7pm are dance for fitness night with Zumba, Bollywood and 80s Disco classes! No partners or previous experience of dance needed – these classes are all about having fun, giving it a go and breaking a sweat!
Thursdays from 6pm-7pm are tone-up and de-stress nights. Why not try yoga to improve your strength and flexibility, our 5050 class which is half aerobics and half toning, or Legs, Bums and Tums to target those trouble spot areas!
Sobell House Hospice are looking for volunteer drivers.
Anyone who wants to volunteer needs to call Oxford 225 868.
All you need is some spare time and a clean driving licence!
If you can spare a drop of the red stuff, there are many donation points across Oxfordshire. Every pint you give could help save the life of up to 3 people. And did you know that our frontline troops use blood from back home?
If you want to find your nearest and next session, just go to www.blood.co.uk and pop in your postcode. The site will tell you all the places near you that you can donate. And - thankyou!
