More about our impact

The environment

We connected with the local landscape by holding events in the garden space and encouraging visitors to utilise the garden space for some quiet time outdoors before and after sessions. Sessions were also themed around the current seasons and we continued to create space for a mindful attitude towards inner and outer environments. Many of our participants walked to the space.

The local economy

Alongside the subsidised classes funded through Spacehive we also created paid jobs for local people with the wider studio program. The money spent on the venue hire also contributed to a local social enterprise, and would encourage people to visit local businesses.

Volunteering, jobs & education

We shared lots of somatic education for people to become more connected with themselves physically, and also emotionally and mentally through various practices, to be able to tend to their overall wellbeing.

Arts, culture & heritage

Our sessions positively impacted the other social enterprise at the venue space which specialised in arts program delivery.

Activity, health and leisure

Our project created a consistent, weekly ongoing space for people to come and tend to their health in all ways - physically, mentally, emotionally. We also created a space for people to gather and share social support and foster community.

Marches Movement CIC exists to improve the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of people living in Ludlow and the wider Welsh Marches region — especially those who are isolated, disadvantaged, or underserved.

Our vision is to help people connect more deeply with the inner landscape of their heart, mind, and body — and the outer landscapes of the natural world — through movement, holistic practices, and inclusive community at a central Ludlow studio.

We aim to support people in inhabiting their physical bodies with more ease, joy, and confidence to live healthier, more connected lives — creating a ripple effect that benefits the whole community.

We offer inclusive and accessible yoga and wellbeing sessions to promote holistic health across all ages and backgrounds. Our primary beneficiaries will include:

Older adults at risk of social isolation
People experiencing anxiety, stress, or low mood
Those on low incomes or living in rural areas with limited access to wellness services
Carers, frontline workers, and others facing chronic stress

Our mission is to make movement and wellness practices accessible to everyone, regardless of background or income. We aim to achieve this through:

Free and low-cost yoga classes at a central Ludlow hub and later other community venues
Chair yoga and gentle movement for seniors and those with limited mobility
Outdoor sessions inspired by the Shropshire Hills and wider Marches region and workshops connecting with the natural cycles and rhythmns of nature
Workshops cultivating resilience, mindfulness, and emotional wellbeing

All profits are reinvested into expanding our reach, subsidising classes, and training local teachers in inclusive, trauma-sensitive approaches.

Our goal is to create a calm, welcoming, and healing space where movement becomes a source of connection — with self, others, and the land.
