I love this class because the instructor David is such a cheerful and encouraging individual. He tailors the class to meet our individual needs by demonstrating different versions of each exercise dependent upon each person's situation.I find that I have improved in my ability to do these exercises as I have attended regularly and am now able to take my stretches and moves to a higher level than when I first started. I actually fit into my clothes more comfortably now.All of this has given me a real sense of well being and achievement. As a result my mental health has improved and I look forward each week to seeing and saying hello to other regulars in the class. We are a community.

The weekly class run by David McKenzie has proven to be a life saver for me during the pandemic. It has helped my physical and mental health. The exercises are aimed at all, David gives variations to challenging all. David is very supportive with an engaging relaxed style that encourages me to work to my maximum. I strongly recommend this class to everyone. Long may it continue.

My angels loved the African drumming session we attended, great experience for them to get involved with and the interaction opened them up to embracing more of their Ghanaian roots. Thanks SACCO. Looking forward to more workshops in the near future.

My 8 year old twin boys attended SACCO's Anansi: Story and Code' workshop and massively enjoyed it! Marsha was fantastic at engaging them with the story and drawing them out of their shells. She is extremely warm, fun and likeable and won their trust and interest very quickly. She introduced them to the online coding programme, taking it at just the right pace and before they knew it, they had written their own codes to create a cute animation! It was a really enjoyable session and whetted their appetites to learn more about coding and animation. The story was also a great morality tale and they've referred back to it a few times since. Thanks to Marsha and her SACCO team for a very rewarding and entertaining session!

My son enjoyed the African drumming and storytelling. It was fun, we had a great time and can't wait for the next session to share with family and friends to join in. It was for everyone.

I attended excellent Yoga and Pilates classes organised this month by SACCO, and my daughter attended the excellent British science week activities. My mum even joined the seniors exercise group. SACCO has provided our family with lots of exciting activities and opportunities that we would not have had access to otherwise.

What a an exciting start to a Saturday morning. The atmosphere was positive and colourful. My daughter and I enjoyed learning different drumming techniques. Music is a way of exploring and expressing emotions, and this session provided that for us. The organisers where very friendly and engaging which made the activity enjoyable. Thank you SACCO .

Lovely, warm and engaging staff who helped us to learn and really encouraged the children to get involved.We learnt so much about African and in particular Ghanaian culture all whilst having an absolute blast! We loved the drumming, dancing and dressing up in lovely Kente prints! And what?s more it was all on our doorstep!Great event and loved that it was different to the usual offerings for children.Thanks to all at SACCO!

Amazing engaging session of drumming transporting us to the tales of Africa through dance and music by @MangoTreeKids. My 2 year old and 4 year old definitely enjoyed themselves and liked being dressed in the vibrant colours of the cloth wrapped around us.

We signed up to a free event, Comic Design with McKenzie Art Club. It's really fun and incredibly informative. My 6 year old and her Dad are learning great comic drawing skills!

The SACCO Science Blast Off was an excellent event, my 4 year old had so much fun. We got a pack in the post with a lab coat and goggles, which made my daughter feel like a real scientist! She got to learn more about Mae Jemison, and her own copy of the children?s book Look Up! Marsha did a wonderful job engaging all of the children involved with the event and it was great to see all of the children trying to get their rockets to lift off. My daughter absolutely loved it and it has really sparked an interest in science. We look forward to the next event! Thank you Marsha & SACCO.

We had a great time taking part in the session. I think it was good that we had to keep trying to change the variables of the experiment to get different reactions. In general the ethos of training to be an astronaut was fantastic and there were three generations of my family taking part as we spent he morning doing it. It was fantastic to see all the children taking part. This was one of the best online events I have taken part in with the children as there were different types of activities so they could engage in learning in different ways. Would book again.
