Description

Pam’s People CIC is a newly formed Black-led not-for-profit with over 14 years experience running joyful, inclusive movement programmes across Newham. We currently lead Zumba, Salsa and chair-based fitness at Stratford and Canning Town Libraries, helping adults feel better in their bodies and more connected to others.

Now, through the People Powered Places programme, and with your support we’d love to bring two brand-new classes to East Ham through a project called East Ham Moves.

These sessions include:

Soul Line Dancing – simple steps and joyful routines that anyone can follow. No partner needed. These classes are low-impact, uplifting and full of feel-good energy.

Walking & Mobility – guided weekly walks with built-in strength, balance and flexibility exercises. A great way to stay active in a friendly group, especially for those who want a gentle, supported way to move more.

We know many people in East Ham would love to move more, but might feel put off by traditional gyms or health clubs that don’t reflect them. Some are living with long-term health conditions. Others are facing the cost-of-living crisis or recovering from isolation and low mood. Whatever the reason, we believe everyone deserves access to welcoming, culturally relevant activities in their own neighbourhood.

East Ham Moves is about removing those barriers and inviting people to join something positive, local, and fun.

If you believe that every adult deserves the chance to move more, connect with others, and feel better in their body, we’d love your support for East Ham Moves.

Together, we can help more residents in East Ham -Move. Dance. Connect.

Pam, this space you’ve created has been such a gift to the community. It’s a place where adults can move freely, reconnect with themselves, and just have fun! Every week brings more laughter, confidence, and new friendships that truly last. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in, and counting down until the next session. Wishing you all the success with this vote— you’ve earned it! See you soon, Keesha

Yeah...lets keep the Borough dancing and bring joy to everyone. This bid gets my vote. Newham should become a dance, music and performing arts hub for East London, so that local people can match the growth of music and arts venues at the Olympic Park! Good luck with the bid

I love this community. In fact, I feel I’m like in a party in every session. It’s fun, good for mental health and exercises for our body in the same place. Please join us and help us to continue it🥰🥰🥰

This makes the community at large active, and sensitivity everyone in EastHam about advantages of movement of the body whether home, work or in transit.
