Last month, Sport Hampshire & IOW, linking with Workplace Challenge, hosted a “This Girl Can” Zumbathon in aid of Sport Relief for Hampshire County Council staff in the Great Hall in Winchester. The session was run by local Zumba instructor Silvia Gill from Salsa Y Sol Dance & Yoga.
The Zumba session was a great opportunity for staff to not only help raise money for Sport Relief but also for them to get active in their lunch break. Staff could take part in as little or as much of the session as they liked. There may have been some un-coordinated dance steps from the team at Sport Hampshire but in the end, all that mattered was that everyone was having fun together raising money and not caring about what they looked like!
On the event, one woman taking part said; “It doesn't matter if you can or can't dance - it's just about taking part & enjoying yourself”.
All money raised for Sport Relief helps to transform lives across the UK and the world’s poorest communities and all those who took part, proved that every red face counts, with £160 being raised for a good cause.
