EIGHTEEN MOVING FOR GOOD
TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
about us
WHO WE ARE
We're a group of eighteen Year Ten student girls at Charterhouse School in Surrey, England. We wanted to convert our enthusiasm for fitness and healthy living into a non-curricular community event for this academic year that we'd be proud to look back upon.
our MISSION
To use our passion to support those who face far greater challenges at school. We have chosen the incredible Future Hope Montessori School in Vipingo, Kenya as our partner in this endeavour. We wish to raise a target figure of a minimum £2,000 to inaugurate an exercise and keep fit program.
OUR PURPOSE
To use our school sports & exercise facilities coupled with a disciplined approach to healthy eating and well-being practice to enjoy our lives to the full. To be a positive force with one another, more broadly within the school and society at large.

Future Hope Montessori School in Vipingo, Kenya
FHMS is a magical place! A place where in excess of 150 HIV-affected otherwise destitute children run to at the start of every day, full of life and joy!
Physically, the school consists of 7 classrooms, PP1 & 2, library, kitchen and dining hall. ICT lab, sickbay, small science lab and toilet block….not forgetting an exciting adventure playground and small football pitch. Holistically, it’s a whole different ball game! Education standards are way up by embracing phonics, thematic learning and enjoying very small classes, but it’s more than that! Our children are encouraged to ask questions, do their own research and think for themselves. A rarity in Kenya!
Our teachers are motivated, dedicated and receive ongoing training, which keeps them up to date on all the latest educational developments. Our groundsmen keep the school beautifully maintained, clean and freshly painted, all of which instils a pride in the school and gives the children an insight into what can be achieved.
We constantly say it, but we really can’t do it without you! Without you, the children who attend the school would have a pretty depressing future….with you, their future is shiny and bright!
MIND BODY & SOUL
HEALTH & NUTRITION
Our school provides us with considerable knowledge on the importance of an active lifestyle and balanced diet, aiding our academic performance and well-being. Not only does it keep us physically fit, it improves sleep and mood throughout the day so we may reach our full potential.
CLASS CALENDAR
Every Thursday at 5:00pm we will spin for 30 minutes. We will be following a set program which varies resistance and rpms at certain points during the ride session. This will continue through the summer term until summer break and our end goal of 2000 kilometres is achieved.
OUR EQUIPMENT
We will be spinning in a variety of sportswear brands, including Nike, Adidas, Lululemon and Charterhouse sports uniform. We would be keen to link our fondness for these brands to our fellow students at Vipingo Village Future Hope School. We'll be in touch!
