Yoga with cats!
Can you help?
We're hope to support the Catnap Cafe, and host a fundraising event for ourselves, on Friday 14 March from 6pm to 8pm, at the Catnap Cafe, Colombo St.
We're hoping for a yoga instructor out there to host a yoga class for around 1 hour that evening. Since it's a fundraising event we'd be extremely grateful for pro bono work, although we can offer a gift of some description at least.
Any leads welcome.
