Tees Active, in partnership with the fitness class brand Les Mills UK successfully delivered a high energy live fitness masterclass event, raising almost £500 for the Civic Mayor of Stockton‑on‑Tees’ chosen charities: Butterwick Hospice and The Moses Project.

The event was held at Thornaby Pavilion on Saturday 17th January and welcomed almost 100 enthusiastic fitness class attendees who came together to take part in two popular classes; Les Mills Bodycombat and Les Mills Shapes. The masterclasses were led by Les Mills UK trainer Leona Petch, who was joined on stage by Activ8’s very own talented instructors.

All proceeds from the masterclass have been donated directly to the Mayor’s chosen charities, helping support the invaluable work done by Butterwick Hospice and The Moses Project.
Nadine Corner, Health & Wellbeing Manager at Tees Active, said:
“This event truly showcased Tees Active’s commitment to providing high‑quality group exercise experiences for the local community. We were delighted to see such strong engagement from participants, whose enthusiasm contributed significantly to the success of the event. It was a privilege to support the Mayor’s chosen charities, and we are proud that this initiative has helped raise both funds and awareness for organisations making a meaningful difference in our area.”

The Civic Mayor of Stockton‑on‑Tees said:
“I am sincerely grateful to Tees Active and everyone who attended this event. The dedication shown by both the organisers and participants demonstrates the strength of our community and its commitment to supporting local causes. The funds raised will make a meaningful difference to Butterwick Hospice and The Moses Project, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to all involved for their generosity and continued support.”
