The project aimed to address issues around physical fitness and diet, through a series of healthy eating and cooking workshops, alongside physical routines such as yoga skills, outdoor exercise and aerial techniques. In turn improving physical and emotional wellbeing and increasing self-esteem for the participants involved.
The project managed to break through the isolation that most single mothers experience by creating a supportive inter-cultural community.
Overtime the project has evolved and been replicated;
- HEALTHY MOTHERS – Yes we can! (2012)
- FLYING MOTHERS (Spring 2013)
- FLYING MUMS ( Autumn 2013) at Seddon Centre (Waltham Forest)
