Hi, I'm the Fit Lives Coordinator for Wimbledon YMCA gym. I spend approximately 8 hours a week at the centre and I describe my role as providing social, pastoral, and spiritual care.

I organise coffee mornings and social evenings; I offer time to listen to people and share God's love with them; I provide courses to help people explore faith, such as Wellsprings course, Alpha course. I have discovered that leisure centres are places of real spiritual hunger and to place someone there to help meet that need is crucial.

We are looking to get more churches on board to see their local leisure centre as a perfect place for being intentional in demonstrating God's love, and we are seeking to train up more Fit Lives Cordinators. I will be providing the trainingfor new Coordinators in the London/Surrey region.

This work is incredibly exciting and one of the highlights of my week. We would appreciate you giving financially to support this work and enable the impact to spread.
