Care to Dance
Supporting care-experienced young people through dance
Every young person deserves somewhere to belong, feel valued and enjoy being themselves.
Care to Dance is a national charity supporting care-experienced children and young people aged 5-25 through dance. Our weekly sessions bring together trauma-informed dance artists and qualified social workers to create welcoming spaces where young people can build confidence, make friends and improve their wellbeing.
Alongside dancing, we offer mentoring, leadership opportunities and the chance to perform and celebrate achievements together. For many young people, Care to Dance becomes a community they can count on.
By fundraising for Care to Dance, you can help more young people access these opportunities and support the people and relationships that make our programmes special.
Whether you’re taking on your first 5K or running a marathon, we would love to have you on our team. Thank you for helping young people find their feet, grow in confidence and feel they belong.
How Your Support Helps
For children and young people who have experienced care, changes in home, school and relationships can make it harder to access activities and build lasting friendships. At Care to Dance, we create spaces where young people feel safe, supported and part of a community.
Your fundraising helps make this possible. It gives young people opportunities to try something new, discover what they can do and celebrate their achievements with people who believe in them.
Here’s what your support can provide:
-
£20 buys a child a Care to Dance T-shirt, helping them feel part of the group.
-
£30 pays for a child in care to enjoy a social event with their friends.
-
£150 pays for 15 children in care to experience a dance workshop.
-
£500 pays for 15 children in care to perform at a theatre, sharing their achievements with an audience and making memories together.
Every donation helps us create opportunities for joy, friendship and belonging. Whatever your fundraising challenge, thank you for being part of our Care to Dance community.
