We were recently the beneficiary of a wonderful day at our local yoga and fitness studio, The Rogue Room. Rogue Solstice took place in June and was a day-long celebration of movement and mindfulness. From kids’ dance and capoeira classes to circus performances, open decks, live music, breathwork and movement sessions, the programme showcased some of the most inspiring people in our community, and 100% of the ticket proceeds went directly to Mimbre Youth.
It has been wonderful to begin this philanthropic relationship with The Rogue Room. From the very start when Rosie reached out to us, it was clear that her values aligned very closely with ours: that both organisations aim to encourage communities to move in different ways, and that a commitment to inclusivity runs through everything.
The day of Rogue Solstice was great – there was a real sense of shared purpose and support that ran through the different activities, and it was brilliant to get to talk to some of The Rogue Room’s members and learn more about them. We were also thrilled that our Mimbre Youth community was welcomed into the space. For us it wasn’t just that the donation to our programme was very welcome – although it was! – it was also about meeting more people in Hackney who support what we do and want to give their energy to making the local community the best it can be.
Thank you so much to Rosie and the rest of the team at The Rogue Room!
