Viva Core CIC
Movement, health education and community for every woman.
You deserve to feel at home in your body, and you never have to find your way there alone.
Viva Core CIC is the community arm of Viva Core, the Northampton women's health centre founded by Joyce Mwape. As a registered Community Interest Company, our profits go straight back into the community we serve.
From Vulcan Works we run a free Reformer Pilates class every other Tuesday, plus workshops on pelvic health, hormones and everyday movement. Through outreach, partner programmes and virtual talks, we reach women across the UK and internationally, including our new chapter in Zambia.
