Clare

My name is Clare and I work with the Public Heath Physical Activity Team delivering Small Steps Big Changes courses.

I have danced since I was two years old and I run Zumba and Zumba Gold classes in the community across Medway, Maidstone and Gravesend, sharing my passion for dance and music, which is a great way to stay fit and feel good from the inside out!

I love running too, five London Marathons and many half marathons. Once, I went for a Sunday morning jog, got a bit lost and came home 13 miles later!

I have two dogs who love wood walks, rain or shine!

I have lived my life in Medway and I feel very strongly about keeping people connected!
