Who Are Purple Gekcko

Purple Gecko Community CIC was founded in October 2020 in response to the growing need for meaningful connection, inclusive opportunities, and support for both physical and mental wellbeing. We saw first-hand the impact of isolation and disconnection on individuals across all age groups, and we knew that something had to be done. The community needed more than just activities; it needed a space to move, connect, and belong.

Our goal has always been clear: to create accessible, inclusive programmes that help people from all walks of life engage in creative, physical, and social activities that nurture personal growth. We are here to provide more than just fitness or performance. We create opportunities for individuals to build life skills, explore creativity, develop confidence, strengthen resilience, and find joy in movement and connection.

From early years to older adults, our programmes are carefully designed to support different life stages, while also providing a platform to bring generations together. Our Young People’s Programmes offer dance, education, and enrichment activities that inspire creativity, improve coordination, and encourage positive social interaction. These sessions aim to support not just physical development, but emotional wellbeing and teamwork too.

At the other end of the age spectrum, our Mature Movers sessions support individuals aged fifty and above with gentle, inclusive classes that promote mobility, independence, and social engagement. These classes are more than just physical activity. They are a space where laughter, conversation, and community spirit come together to boost mental health and combat loneliness.

Where experience meets curiosity.

We also champion intergenerational work, believing that connection across age groups brings fresh energy, understanding, and shared purpose. Our programmes bring young people and older adults into the same space, using dance and movement to foster mutual respect, collaboration, and learning. This creates moments where experience meets curiosity, where wisdom is shared, and where community is built through real human connection.

Purple Gecko Community CIC exists to make a difference. Whether you join us for one class or become a regular part of our community, you will be welcomed, valued, and encouraged to be yourself.
