Bring people together. Move with purpose. Help young people belong.
"Dance was the only place I felt happy. It gave me an emotional outlet where I could move how I wanted and be free. When I come to Care to Dance, my mental health gets better - I feel happy and like myself again.” Young person
By fundraising for Care to Dance, you help care-experienced young people access supportive dance communities where they can build confidence, explore their creativity and grow together.
Whether you lace up your trainers, organise a danceathon or bring colleagues together for a bake sale, we’d love you to be part of our community.
