WiggleKids,
a non-profit organization located in the Swansea
Mall, was
thrilled to have received a Hathaway
Grant this past year to use to help better health and wellness for
some low-income Somerset families. The organization
originally submitted to do a four-week healthy habit and fitness program
at the Swansea Mall studio, but, with the collaboration and help
of folks at United
Neighbors of Fall River and Partners
for a Healthier Community, they were able to extend the grant to six
events held both in Mall studio and out in the community that involved
many resources for families in need. WiggleKids shows
families very inexpensive and creative ways to move and have fun in any
type of residence. The organization has re-applied for funding with an
added element with the Somerset
Council on Aging. The Drums
Alive activity is a full brain, full body fitness program. The Drums
Alive Ability Beats program is perfect for seniors who need to build
strength to help in fall prevention and provides cognition exercises
that help with clear thinking and better decision-making. Click

information about the program, email Coach
Kim Ferrara.
