This class is for women who will benefit from having a safe space to exercise. These classes aim to build not only fitness, but confidence.

Women who have children are welcome to bring them along, with child/baby equipment and provisions available so those without alternate childcare can benefit from the class.

The £673,181 from the Home Office’s Safer Streets Fund will focus on tackling violence against women and girls and increasing the feeling of safety in public spaces. Funding of £395,225 has been allocated to the Stow Hill and Victoria wards in Newport; Grofield and Priory wards in Abergavenny will receive an additional £227,956 to improve community safety.

Inspector Hannah Welti said:

“As part of our Safer Streets initiative funded by the home office, we want to help everyone in Gwent feel safer. Part of feeling safer, is allowing our communities the space to build their confidence.

“These classes will support women in providing a safe space to exercise and the resources to receive any support they may need.”

Gwent police are working with local businesses and partners to set up safe spaces across Gwent.

A safe space is a place where anyone can go to feel safe, build confidence and receive support from our partners.

Inspector Hannah Welti went on to say:

“Working with our partners we’re committed to making Gwent a safe space for all.

“Women should never live fearful of sexual harassment or violence.

“If you or anyone you know are experiencing any violence against them, we urge them to contact us or Live Fear Free (Live Fear Free helpline | GOV.WALES).”
