Age UK Milton Keynes, in association with Bounce Wolverton, hosted two exhilarating one-hour Bounce classes, drawing a crowd eager to get active and support a vital local charity. Notably, this lively event was also a key part of Franklin's 50 Challenge, adding an extra layer of community engagement and fundraising spirit.
The event, held on the evening of Thursday, 24th April 2025, saw participants of all ages and fitness levels come together to enjoy a fun and engaging workout on mini-trampolines. Instructors from Bounce Wolverton led the high-energy classes, guiding attendees through a series of dynamic movements set to upbeat music.
