We help families in two ways: we give children all the essential items they need to be safe at home and confident at school, as well as opportunities to have fun! Then, we work with parents to help them find ways to change their lives for good. We believe that there is no place in society for charities like ours, and we would like to close our doors for good because there is no need in our community.
Until that time we will continue to be at the place where compassion meets action.
We would like to thank Nuffield health for the support they gave, they ran a warm-up session last year before the cycling event.
The importance of a warm up
Preparing your body for exercise such as a bike ride is important to prevent injury. Warm ups and cool downs for physical activity are almost as important as the activity itself. A good warm up helps dilate the blood vessels ensuring that your muscles are well supplied with oxygen and raises your body and muscle temperature for increased flexibility and efficiency. It also raises your heart rate to bring it up to your starting training rate which minimises stress on your heart when you start.
