AN ACTION-packed family fun day will be raising funds for two vital charities and aims to be One Great Day.

Brewery Square will be hosting the day this Saturday (June 3) to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital and Butterflies.

One Great Day is a UK wide annual charity fundraising day, raising money and support for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and where possible, another local children’s charity close to the heart of each community.

And Brewery Square have thrown their support behind the initiative.

There will be a variety of children’s activities including face painting and a quiz. There’ll also be live music, market stalls, street food and activities in the square with Anytime Fitness.

Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity is dedicated to finding new and better ways to treat childhood illnesses.

Butterflies is a charity that supports children with disabilities by providing specialised equipment, child development aids and training courses.

At the fundraising event, visitors can enjoy the delights of various food producers, including Jurassic Cottage Foods serving jams, chutneys, fresh pies and cakes, as well as Street Food Market favourites such as Bubble Tea and The Emporium Pizza.

Anytime Fitness will host fitness sessions from 10am and 12pm. There will be two SlimDance sessions at 10am and 11.20am, lasting for a total of 40 minutes. This is a high energy, fat burning cardio class which uses basic choreography in a variety of dance styles. There will also be a Circuits session at 10.45am, lasting for 30 minutes.

Live music will follow the fitness sessions from 12pm 4pm, with performances from Shermaine Bull and Sophie Green, both aged 13, as well as performances from Dorchester Performing Arts Group and Julie Storey’s Let’s Dance group.

Charlotte Spracklen, centre manager at Brewery Square, said: “There’s plenty in store for visitors on One Great Day in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital and Butterflies. We’re pleased to be able to support these two great causes.”

One Great Day was established in 2014 and has so far raised more £230,000 for more than 50 different children’s charities and 2017 will see more 150 shopping centres take part.

Mike Coombes, club manager at Anytime Fitness in Dorchester, added: “We are looking forward to seeing lots of people enjoying the activities and entertainment at Brewery Square to support these great causes! Anyone is welcome to join in with our fun fitness sessions. It will indeed be One Great Day."
