The Extended Impact of Our Work
For several years we have known that the impact of our work reaches far beyond the people who directly participate in our sessions by also improving the life of their immediate and extended families, their friends and members of the local community.
A survey was done with the parents and carers of our DS Collective performers and the results were overwhelmingly positive, and we share these below:
As a direct result of the person they care for participating with DanceSyndrome, parents/carers reported:
88% – their own life has been impacted positively
88% – DanceSyndrome provided new opportunities for parents/carers too
88% – DanceSyndrome exceeded their expectations
75% – feeling happier themselves
63% – experienced an improvement in their own mental health
50% – feeling more confident themselves
50% – had an improved relationship with the person they care for
25% – experienced an improvement in their physical health
25% – had improved their own employability skills
25% – had more independence
We’re really proud that our work has this level of extended impact on parents and carers of participants and believe it truly demonstrates the power of dance to transform lives!
