We are so excited to share with you a new project from @clfitnessgroup in aid of LAMH. 🙌⁠⁠

⁠⁠Chris Lennon, owner of CL Fitness Group has developed a 27 page supportive guide – designed for the new world we live in, where working out and generally looking after ourselves at home has become more required than ever. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠In it he covers everything from a morning routine, through both lower and upper body workout plans. The entire book includes options for every level and allows you to mix things up.⁠⁠
⁠⁠You can order the ebook for £4.99. A donation from every copy sold will come straight to LAMH. 💚💜⁠⁠

I love your mind!

Over February we shared some love and positivity, while raising money!

Our ‘I love your mind cards’ were sold online encouraging people to send these cards as gifts to their valentine, or simply to someone that had been there for them this year.

Raising £147.92 we raised a little money, while spreading a little joy.

You are still able to purchase our cards at our Hamilton Charity Shop!

Thank you so much to our designers Jill Mcdonald, Clare Achilli and Emma Goodman.
