We’ve been blown away by the kindness, passion and generosity of everyone who has donated to our Big Give fundraising campaign so far this week.

We’re only three days in and thanks to the unbridled generosity of our wonderful community we have already had donations of £2,835 which have been matched by Arts Council England - so that our current raised total sits at £5,670 💥

A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed so far whether through donation or by sharing the campaign with others. 🙏

That means over the next 4 days we need £915 of donations to hit our £7500 fundraising target! There’s still a long way to go but as you can see every donation makes double the difference!

Anything you can give to make this project a reality will have a huge impact on the young people we work with and their communities - building confidence, leadership and wellbeing and strengthening community bonds.

This week we're taking part in Big Give's Arts for Impact fundraising campaign!

From now until midday Tue 24 March we're fundraising for Together We Move - an incredible dance and wellbeing project co-designed by our youth participants aiming to create community bonds through the power of dance.

The project will see them teaching a dance routine they have created to their friends, family and community, culminating in a big flashmob celebration on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park!

For the next 7 days, all donations will be match funded £1 for £1 by our funding champion Arts Council England, up to a total of £3,750. So, every £5 donated means £10 to us!

Your donation helps us:
✨ Build confidence in young people
✨ Support mental and physical wellbeing
✨ Break down barriers to participation
✨ Strengthen families and community bonds
