Home-Start Uttlesford volunteers given a ‘thank you’ Zumba fitness lesson
VOLUNTEERS of an Uttlesford family charity were given a special ‘thank you’ day in recognition of their efforts.
Home-Start Uttlesford held the event as an opportunity for the staff to thank each and every one of the volunteers who give so much time to supporting families in the area.
The day - which was attended by 23 of the charity’s volunteers – started with some training and was followed by a fun hour’s Zumba lesson, led by teacher Luisa Curbelo.
Senior co-ordinator Linda Robinson said: “Everyone who took part really enjoyed the Zumba, and certainly many calories were burnt off whilst exercising to Latin American fitness music.
“Afterwards everyone enjoyed a well deserved lunch and another vote of thanks to our wonderful volunteers.”

It also runs two family groups, in Saffron Walden and Dunmow, where parents and children can meet for friendship, play and mutual support. The service is free and confidential.
