The idea
Move with Ease is a community wellbeing programme supporting people experiencing chronic pain & reduced mobility through gentle, accessible movement sessions. Based in Hammersmith & Fulham and will support local residents in surrounding West London communities, including Fulham, Ealing, and East Acton.
Funds will deliver seasonal group workshops, provide subsidised one-to-one somatic support and purchase specialist equipment (a somatic treatment table). The programme combines group sessions, individual support and community engagement to improve access to preventative, movement-based wellbeing.
£20 could support 1 person to attend a gentle community session and experience a new way of moving with less pain and more ease.
£40 could help provide more in-depth support through small group sessions, allowing for more personalised guidance
£80 could support both group and one-to-one work, helping someone with more complex needs receive individual attention.
