Join the Food Drive!
DO you want to get in shape whilst doing your bit for charity?
Curves in Coleraine is launching a major charity food drive as part of a global initiative to mark International Women's Day.
The 240 Curves clubs across the UK are participating in an initiative to build a giant food bank for local charities.
As well as asking their existing members to donate bags of groceries any new member who joins Curves between March 1 and 14 inclusive will have their joining fee waived in favour of foodstuff - meaning you can manage your weight as well as your wallet - whilst doing your bit for charity.
All food collected by Curves Coleraine will be donated to Women's Aid.
Sylvia Nixon, Manager of Curves Coleraine, explains: "We always receive a huge amount of support for our annual food drive. Last year Curves managed to raise 3,354,806 kilos of food globally and 29,460 kilos in the UK alone.
"We're delighted to be able to show our support for Women's Day but also do our bit for our local Women's Aid."
Causeway Women's Aid provide refuge and a range of support services for women and children with experience of domestic violence and abuse.
Sharon Burnett, Causeway Women's Aid added: "We are very grateful to Curves Coleraine for their support and donation of food which will be used to support women in refuge and women in need in the local community.
