MERRIE Maggie is planning to give donations from her next laughter yoga session to Age UK Dudley in a bid to help the charity which is set to lose £300K of funding.
The service, based at The Waterfront, has been hit hard by the news it is to lose its funding from Dudley Council so Maggie Thompson, aka Merrie Maggie, aims to put a few pennies in its pot from donations collected at her next laughter yoga club at Wordsley on Monday August 8.
Maggie said: “Age UK Dudley is close to my heart as I spent eight years working for the charity so am well aware of the impact this loss of funding will have for them and their thousands of clients.”
People of any age can attend Maggie's next laughter yoga session - running at Wordsley Community Centre, The Green, from 7pm until 8pm.
She said: “People attending for the first time need not worry about creating yoga positions but will need to have a good set of lungs for deep breathing and laughter exercises, all of which make for an evening of joyfulness, gentle aerobic exercise and a feeling of relaxation at the end.”
