A truly lovely morning. Thank you Jo for stepping in ❤️

What a wonderful morning at the The Stroke and Wellness Foundation in Holland-on-Sea! 💙

Our Community Engagement Officer and yoga teacher, Jo Thorne, had the privilege of stepping in for Flexfityogadave while he enjoys a well-earned holiday, leading his regular seated yoga class for stroke survivors.

The session was filled with smiles, movement and plenty of positive energy as everyone joined in. Together we got bodies moving, brains working and energy flowing through a combination of gentle yoga, breathwork and guided meditation.

Of course, no session would be complete without a bit of fun! So we got moving and singing along to a few favourite tunes, including the timeless classic Sweet Caroline 🎶 Great voices everyone 👩‍🎤🧑‍🎤

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and made the morning so enjoyable. It was inspiring to see such enthusiasm, determination and community spirit in the room.

Thank you in advance of your support for these three wonderful charities, chosen this year by the Chairmans Charity Appeal.
Naze Protection Society ❤️
Touched By Cancer ❤️
The Stroke and Wellness Foundation ❤️
(of which we are one of the fortunate recipients).

💙 I’M ASKING FOR YOUR HELP 💙

As Chairman of Tendring District Council, I am proud to be supporting three charities that are very close to my heart:

🌊 Naze Protection Society
🎗️ Touched By Cancer
🧠 Stroke Wellness Foundation

Over the next year, I have set myself an ambitious challenge – to raise £10,000 to support these incredible organisations and the vital work they do within our community.

This isn’t just about raising money. It’s about supporting local people facing some of life’s toughest challenges, helping stroke survivors rebuild their lives, and protecting one of Tendring’s most treasured natural environments for future generations.

I cannot do this alone.

Whether you can donate £2, £5, £10 or more, every contribution will help us move closer to our goal. If you are unable to donate, simply sharing this appeal would mean the world to me.

Together, I know we can make a real difference.
