Sponsorship
EXTEND is a small national registered charity established in 1976 and originally developed from the Women's League of Health and Beauty. For many years EXTEND has continued to provide recreational movement classes to music for older people and those less able of any age. In this section of our website we would really like our supporters to focus on what they can do to help us increase our funds for both the training of new teachers and providing exercises classes thoughtout the UK. Please visit "How can I raise money for EXTEND?"
HOW EXTEND IS FUNDED
EXTEND receives funding in the main from it's individual supporters through 'Friends of EXTEND', one-off donations, administration fees from courses, affiliation fees and sales of uniforms/musical CDs or book/printed literature. However, there are plenty more fundraising opportunities in which families, friends, individuals, supporters and organisations can contribute. Please feel free to contact us with your suggestions. In the meanwhile, we have made a few suggestions of our own on the next few pages.
Brighton Marathon 
EXTEND is delighted to announce that it has secured ONE place for the Brighton marathon to be held on Sunday 15th April 2012. The race route for the Brighton Marathon starts with a loop of gorgeous Preston Park, and then takes in the best of the city centre including Brighton Pavilion and fabulous stretches of coastal road, including panoramic views that you’d expect where the glorious South Downs meet the English Channel. Please visit the website at http://brightonmarathon.co.uk for more information about the race and route.
