Hope in Every Spin
Besides gun violence, our children deserve to experience joy, creativity, and hope. 🌈💛

Our Radicles got creative making paper windmills, little reminders that even in challenging communities, we can choose to create, play, dream and rise above. 🌬️✨

🌸 Another RAD Women’s Month Initiative 🌸

Our Women’s Skills Morning brought women together for empowerment, skills and valuable information. 💕 The morning included input from SAPS, Chrysalis Academy, Health Information and Court Assistance regarding GBV, giving women access to important knowledge and support.

Empowering women through skills, information and support. 🌷

💃✨ Growing Through Dance at RAD ✨💃
Our 7 beautiful girls had the wonderful opportunity to visit the studio for a special Ballroom Dancing session with Aunty Maxi. ❤️

Stepping into a new environment gave them the space to build confidence, express themselves and discover new sides of their personalities. It was beautiful to see how dance can positively influence not only their skills, but also their character and self-belief. 🌸

Sometimes, a new space helps you discover a new version of yourself. 💕✨

Today our Ballroom dancers had the opportunity to visit the studio of our facilitator Maxi. Our children really made us proud today. A little exposure outside Lavender Hill and they are totally different children. Well done girls.
