Donations
Research shows that people with learning disabilities face barriers to living a full life, including ill health due to a mainly sedentary life; low confidence; poor self-esteem; significant isolation and boredom. Disabled people are twice as likely to be unemployed as non-disabled people.
Your donation helps DanceSyndrome to break the mould. It offers hope and opportunity, recognition and joy, collaboration and inclusion to countless numbers of people who otherwise feel excluded in society.
Why Support DanceSyndrome?
Your support helps us to reach 1000’s of people through inclusive dance, making real and positive change for people living with learning disabilities across Lancashire. The money we raise through donations supports us to:
- Engage over 5,000 people each year in inclusive dance.
- Run inclusive community dance sessions for over 150 people every week across Lancashire.
- Provide unique dance leadership training for 20 people with learning disabilities every year.
- Deliver inclusive dance performances to inspire audiences and challenge the perceptions.
