Fit ‘n’ Fun Kids

Fit ‘n’ Fun Physical Development Classes are parent/carer and child participation activity-based. Each class is instructed by one or two trained Fit ‘n’ Fun Instructors with classes being a fun and rewarding experience for both parent/carer and child.

At all our classes we always follow a structured routine of warm-up action songs, weekly physical development set ups, parachute play (interactive stories and group tasks for the over twos), goodbye songs and reward stickers/certificates. Please contact 01326 379428 for further information and times.

Little Treasures Parent and Toddlers Group

Monday and Tuesday, 9.30–11.30am and 1 – 3pm

Moves Fitness

Moves fitness is an aerobic dance class. Forget the ‘intimidation factor’, when you walk into a Moves Fitness class you are surrounded by the ‘feel-good factor’. Good music, great atmosphere, all shapes, sizes and ages. It’s a lot of fun and good for you, too. Classes are:
Monday 7.30pm Emmanuel Baptist Church
Wednesday 7.30pm Marlborough School (Term-time only)

Penhaligon’s Friends

Penhaligon’s Friends supports children, young people and families following the death of someone close to them. Bereavement days are held in the Church 4–5 days annually. Parents and children work separately. Children work in age groups using art and craft to look at feelings and special memories of their loved one, ending with a goodbye balloon ceremony in the car park.

For further information visit the Penhaligon's Friends website.

Prayer Tent

On the first Saturday of each month (winds permitting) the bright red Prayer Tent is on the Moor in the centre of Falmouth. A small, trained team offer the opportunity to receive prayer and/or to fill in prayer request cards which are then prayed through and circulated to all the Churches in Falmouth Churches Together for intercession. It has been encouraging over the past few years to have had many people come into the tent asking questions, asking for prayer and asking for prayer support.

Shallal Dance Theatre

Shallal is a long-standing community dance theatre company open to all ages and abilities. Shallal runs ‘Open House’ workshops for those who want to learn the skills needed in order to join the main company at a later date, or for those who just want to have a go without the pressure of performing.
‘Open House’ Falmouth: Mondays (term time only) dance and visual arts, 4.30–6pm. For more information contact Shallal on 01736 334682.

Sing and Sign

Sing and Sign runs ten-week courses that teach parents/carers and their children (from 6 months) to use signs to encourage early communication. During each class we sing, use musical instruments and props to amuse your child so you can learn the signs. Please contact Sarah on (01209) 614783 for further information or check out the Sing and Sign website.

Services for Older People

An informal 50-minute service for older people who would otherwise find it difficult to attend Church, followed by a cream tea. Transport is provided where needed. A varied programme including short talks, real-life stories, well-known hymns, solos and musical items. 3pm on the second Sunday of alternate months (February, April etc).

Torch Fellowship Group
