A Fun Loving Community Focussed Team :)
Check out what we've got coming up!
Be Better, Not Perfect... as we step into 2026 we may face a bombardment of 'fitness stuff' or pop a bit of pressure on ourselves to 'do stuff' and aim for perfection (whether diet, how we live, exercise etc)
Curlys think you're just great the way you are x (awwww)... but if you fancy getting a bit more active, ticking off some goals or just been a bit better, then that's great. We're here to support and inspire where we can.
There are lots of amazing club, groups, charities and individuals in your area, plus us doing things in addition to our events... just ask, and a great place to ask is our friendly chat room - click here to join x
So it's not 'All or Nothing'... in between there is something ... And something helps make things a bit better, and that's just lovely'
We've loads of great things coming up for the rest of the year... so grab a brew, sit back and feel inspired (but no pressure)

OUR NEW SHOP THAT DOES 'GOOD THINGS'
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the kit we bought to get active also helped others get active?
Simple idea, right? But surprisingly difficult in practice!
It’s going to be a fun journey to get there — and by buying this kit, you’ll help us make a start in 'moving with purpose'
When you buy lovely things from us, you’re creating micro-grants that help people get active.
These are focussed on the local area based on where you collect, but the item from or have the item delivered to (delivery options coming soon!)
When you buy something from us, 10% of the price you pay goes directly into our micro-grants. Which we award locally x
We're starting with a specially designed hoodie, a snuggly bobble hat and our snood :)
Socks and running hats underway!
