​Dover smART is a local charity that works with a variety of people within the community. They work alongside school groups, young carers and their families, hospice patients and their families, people who have no where to call home and many other people within Dover. Dover smART focuses on bringing people together through creative projects and offering help top those who need it most.

As a club we will be working alongside the Dover smART project and will raise money for them to allow them to continue doing the amazing things they do. We will host a variety of charity events throughout the year so keep your eyes peeled to see how you can get involved and help us raise money for this incredible local charity. 
​
​Dover smART project launched a campaign called ‘smART Knickers’ that focused on ending period poverty. Sanitary products are now freely available within state schools in England; which is amazing news, however, there are still lots of people that suffer with period poverty and we need to help them!

The smART knickers campaign is reaching its second year! To honour the second year of this amazing campaign the first two week of February (1st – 14th) will be dedicated to getting as many sanitary donations as we can!
​As a one-off offer, we will be accepting any donation in exchange for non-members to attend a class! All you need to do is buy a packet of pads or tampons or come ready with a monetary donation, it’s as simple as that! What better way to try out our gym AND help an amazing charity at the same time.​

​We will also be raffling off a cake during these two weeks thanks to the lovely Gemma Hathaway at Iced Gemms. Please come to Hourglass Fitness Studios to buy your raffle tickets. At £1 per strip you’d be silly to miss this!
​
To celebrate the two weeks of fundraising; on the 14th February, we will host a gathering within our reception from 6pm – 7pm that will celebrate all that we have raised and to celebrate the 2nd birthday of the smART knickers campaign. We’ll be raising our glasses of Prosecco to ending period poverty! The raffle for the cake will also be done during our gathering!
