A SPONSORED Zumbathon will raise money for Children in Need.

Fans of the Columbian dance fitness programme will take part in a two-hour session on Tuesday, November 12, at Accrington Town Hall.

The Zumbathon is being hosted by Active Women, funded by Sport England to remove some of the barriers to physical activity and exercise faced by women in Hyndburn.

Locals are invited to ‘dance for Pudsey’ as an individual, or as part of a team, between 7pm and 9pm.

Fancy dress is optional for the fundraiser, which will see Zumba routines chosen by Active Women members.

Sponsor forms can be picked up at any Active Women session, or at Accrington Town Hall reception. For more information, call Fahima Iqbal on 07850 250772.
