Hartbeeps Northamptonshire joining other franchisees to sing a rainbow for the NHS

Hartbeeps Northamptonshire is one of more than 100 Hartbeeps groups aiming to raise money for the NHS via a free online class.

Inspired by the beautiful pictures of rainbows seen in windows and pavements seen across the UK, they will be running a free rainbow themed class suitable for all children aged up to five-years-old.

Amy George, owner of Hartbeeps Northamptonshire, said: “Grown-ups have been loving our online sessions that have been created for people staying at home with small children, and we wanted to take this opportunity to give something back to our amazing NHS.”

The 20-minute pre-recorded session includes classic children’s songs including ‘Sing a Rainbow’ and ‘Zoom to the Moon,’ as well as some of the most popular songs from Hartbeeps classes.

Amy added: “It’s a difficult time for everyone, and those with young children and newborn babies can feel particularly vulnerable and isolated without their support networks.

"We want to not only support the NHS, but bring smiles, laughter, music and dancing into everyone’s homes.”

The session will be able to view today (Thursday, May 7) at 11am on the Hartbeeps Northamptonshire Facebook page.

A fundraising page on JustGiving.com https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/hartbeeps has been set up for people to donate.

Founded in 2003, Hartbeeps offers fun developmental baby classes, toddler classes and pre-school classes, as well as educational sessions, pregnancy classes, stay and play with

baby discos, and children's parties.
