PUNGRA

Two days a year to get the community moving

Desi Fit is a free event for the public, held twice a year. Come to find out what exercise, fitness and health opportunities and services are available in your area, meet the people who run them, and try them for yourself.

At the centre of each event is a danceathon. People of every age and ability dance together and raise money for charity. You do not need to be a dancer, and you do not need to be fit already.

Try something new

Short taster sessions, so you can find an activity you enjoy enough to keep doing.

Meet local services

Clubs, gyms, health providers and community groups explain what they offer and how to join. We will list who is attending once they are confirmed.

Dance for a cause

The danceathon turns a good time into donations for two health charities. Bring friends, family and colleagues.

The danceathon

  1. Sign up to dance. Register for the April or September event. Registration details will be posted here once the date is set.
  2. Set up your fundraising page. Create a page on GoFundMe or a similar fundraising service, share it with friends and family, and ask them to sponsor your dance.
  3. Dance on the day. Join the danceathon with everyone else. Rest when you need to. The aim is to take part.
  4. The money goes to charity. What is raised is donated to our charity partners, and we will share the totals after each event.
