Flamingo Chicks is a multi-award-winning national charity and inclusive community delivering ground-breaking programmes that give disabled children, and those with illnesses like cancer, the opportunity to dance. We have five core pillars: inclusive dance classes, peer-to-peer support, intergenerational volunteering, youth-led advocacy and global outreach. These pillars unite to drive systemic change for a fairer and more inclusive society. We have become a national force championing inclusion for disabled children.

Over 45,000 children have danced with us across the UK. We champion young disabled voices and deliver pioneering activities to develop and support the confidence, creative expression and physical competencies of the children we serve. Through a combination of active learning, story-telling, sensory props and music we bring Flamingo Chicks’ magic and sparkle and joy to special schools, hospices and hospitals nationwide.

89% of Flamingo Chicks saw improvements in their physical wellbeing since starting with us. And, 90% of families felt less socially isolated after joining Flamingo Chicks.
