Fitmums and Friends started by accident in 2009 and has since grown to be a trusted and established charity within the Yorkshire area.

What started as a running club now supports men, women and children of all abilities to walk, run, nordic walk, cycle and be active through coached sessions - we even sing!

Since Founder and Chief Officer Sam Barlow, very sadly lost her Husband Mike in 2020, the charity has gone on to develop support for people who have experienced bereavement. This support is in the form of Grief walks, Yoga for Grief and a special Forest Project for children who have experienced bereavement.

Fitmums and Friends also delivers sessions to support people with visual impairment to be active and a special Menopause Programme to support ladies to be more active and understand the benefits of this during this period but crucially through life.

Please support us through donating to allow the work of Fitmums and Friends continue. These funds will be used to further the charitable aims and support people to become and remain active, while feeling the support of the Fitmums and Friends community and reaping the benefits on their overall wellbeing.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
