University of Lincoln Pole Fitness Society

Hi everyone!!

In light of recent events, we hope you are all keeping safe and well! With that in mind, we've decided to fundraise for UN Women UK!

WHO ARE THEY? They are a global organisation who strive for gender equality. From helping the most vulnerable women and girls, to changing attitudes and helping governments design a gender-equal policy!

WHAT ARE THEY DOING? Their most recent campaign "Safe Spaces Now" takes the demands of over 1,000 women and girls to owners and administrators of public spaces to implement changes in time for the UK lockdown ending.

FUNDRAISING: We know how much of an emotional toll recent events has taken on everyone + March 2021 is Women's Month! So, we've decided to hold a bake off week as a way to remain hopeful and positive for future changes! All you have to do is bake your favourite treat between 24th-31st this month (housemates can get involved too!) And then send us a picture of your bake! They'll be put up on our insta page on the 31/1st for you guys to vote which is your fav!

The donation link is posted below too- please donate whatever you can, we appreciate it so so much!
We look forward to you all taking part! 💛

To all our pole fitness members: we are excited to announce that we will be holding an online stretching and exercise session!🤸‍♀️

WHEN: Tuesday 23rd February 7pm-8pm
WHERE: Microsoft teams- we will send out a Microsoft teams invitation ASAP so keep an eye on your uni email inbox!👀

The session will include stretches and exercises similar to our pole lesson warm-ups. We will try to ensure that all moves are within members’ abilities, however if you feel at any point that a move is outside of your ability then we encourage you to feel free to do your own exercises or take breaks!

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible again for a good catch-up and some exercise!💜

As Grace Millane’s memorial is nearing, hockey have kindly arranged a fundraiser to remember and celebrate her. As it would’ve been her 24th birthday on the 2nd December, the fundraising week is 24 themed. From the 1st-8th December, each member of sports and societies taking part will run/walk/cycle 24km each to raise money for White Ribbon UK, Lucie Blackman Trust and EDAN Lincs, all of which support victims of abuse and their families and have supported the Millane family. We would love as many of our members as possible to take part in this and help raise money for these amazing charities and to celebrate Grace’s life. If you would like to get involved, please message us 💜
