2.Trustees Report
The trustees confirm that a benefit to the public is of paramount importance,
in all our work supporting young persons to participate in artistic activity and in particular Dance.
Our aim is to support young people to participate in artistic activity, particularly dance, when they may otherwise be unable to start or continue their involvement due to financial hardship. It is paramount this involvement continues in a safe and supportive environment, where all involved are treated equally, fairly and respectfully.
- 2.1 Achievement and Performance 2022 2023
The Charity’s formal launch was hosted by the Royal Priors Shopping Centre on the 27[th] November 2022. We organised a day celebrating local children’s dance performances in partnership with Leamington & Warwick Academy of Dance and the Leigh-Anne Campbell's School of Dance, along with the support of high achieving performers in the music and arts industry, namely Hannah Woof, Eleanor Brown and Will Moore.
The launch event comprised a series of dance performances and workshops, held throughout the day (10am-4pm) with local children performing dance pieces in an empty store in Royal Priors Shopping Centre, converted into a theatre for the day by Sam Oates, SOSTUDIOUK. A public participation element was incorporated, inviting children to experience a dance class for the first time. It was a fun day enjoyed by all of those participating and the local community with a steady stream of shoppers joining parents and friends of the those taking part. A raffle was held too of the prizes kindly donated by the retailers in the Royal Priors and others in the town, notably Boots the Chemist.
The theme of the day “We Can Dance” promoted the charity well and the raffle helped to raise £1200 towards our charitable aims.

We continue to work closely with the Warwick County Council’s CAVA and recognise their support in energising our aim to support children from families who are financially challenged. We anticipate a continually growing need for the support of young people in extra-curricular activity as an ongoing impact of the pandemic and as a result of the economic inflation placing increased demands on family budgets.
Our next fund raiser is in the planning process will continues the dance theme with a Latin American evening promoted as “We Can Salsa”.
The Charity continues to work with the Leamington & Warwick Dance Academy (LWAD) and help fund dance classes for children whose families have fallen not financial difficulty and cannot continue paying for lessons.
