Local company teams up with fitness pro to bring joyful movement to schools
Juanita is teaming up with Hayley, co-founder of JVR Virtual Receptionist, to bring that same joyful energy into local schools through a new campaign: Sponsor a School with Hooplatino.
A Movement with Purpose
The initiative encourages local businesses to sponsor Zumba and hula hoop classes in primary schools across Warwickshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands. After discovering that many schools simply don’t have the funds to provide enriching, movement-based sessions, Juanita and Hayley decided to act.
“These classes are more than just fun — they build confidence, creativity, and wellbeing,” says Hayley. “Schools are struggling to fund them, so we thought, why not invite local businesses to help?”
With help from the JVR team — Jo and Jessica — Hayley built a dedicated website to make the sponsorship process simple, transparent, and impactful.
“We created Hooplatino’s new site to give businesses an easy way to give back and be part of something that truly benefits the next generation,” she adds.
How It Works:
- Pick a School – Choose a local school you’d like to support
- Sponsor a Class – Fund Zumba or hula hoop sessions, specially designed for children
- Make an Impact – Help kids stay active, confident, and full of joy
The programme is open to schools in:
Droitwich, Bromsgrove, Worcester, Birmingham, Bidford-on-Avon, Stratford-upon-Avon, Solihull, Alcester, and Redditch.
