I think that’s so important. When I feel reluctant to get changed, get in my car and drive to the Kung Fu club, of which I am a member, knowing that my friends will wonder where I am, and miss me in some small way, definitely motivates me to attend. We all get along very well and the social aspect is just as important as the physical benefits. As local government budgets are squeezed to the point of being wrung out, it’s easy to cut support for anything seen as non-vital. Similarly, personal budgets are shrinking which impacts on what people are able to do but, prioritising well-being is so important. Long may this club continue to benefit the health and well-being of the good folk of Bethnal Green!
