Support Us

As a registered charity we rely on funding and donations from our supporters. Every donation that is made to us, no matter how large or small, is vital to help us continue our work. 

At Dancefest we create opportunities for people in our community to take part in dance classes and, if they want to, perform. We're not your regular dance school - we take dance classes and performances out of studios and theatres and into schools, community centres, village halls, care homes, leisure centres, parks and heritage sites - we make something extraordinary out of the ordinary and surprise people by their own achievements.

We can only achieve this through the support of our funders and you, our generous backers.

A big thank you to our current funders and to everyone who has donated this year.

Dancefest is a charity and we rely on a wide range of support and public donations to continue our work. If you’d like to support us, here’s how your donations can help:

  • £5 could pay for sensory props to be used in our access and inclusion work and creative classes for young children from 18 months to 4 years.
  • £20 could pay for room hire in rural Herefordshire for a workshop for 15 young people
  • £100 could support a workshop for disabled children in an SEN setting.
  • £250 could help us to deliver a five week project with 20 elderly people in a residential home.

A regular or one off donation however small is gratefully received and will support Dancefest’s continuing contribution to the cultural life of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

There are lots of ways you can support our work:

  • If you work for a business that would like to support the local community you may be able to access support or funding on our behalf. Last year one of our participants applied for funding from TKMaxx and as a result we received much needed funding and created a film with our Jigsaw Performance Company.
  • We're a charity on ebay and givingabit, so whether you are buying or selling online, don’t forget to link to our charity pages and you can donate to us at the same time!
  • If you're thinking of setting yourself a challenge for 2018, why not consider raising some money for Dancefest at the same time? In December, Kings School Worcester raised money for Dancefest through their all day Danceathon. You can link a BT MyDonate fundraising page to Dancefest and do something great for us at the same time as achieving your goals!
  • Dancefest is now a charity on AmazonSmile, who donate a percentage of the cost of your purchases to your chosen charity - so if you're a customer, please consider choosing Dancefest as your charity - just put Dancefest in the search box and select us before you start shopping.

We appreciate every single donation that is made to us. If you are already a Dancefest supporter, remember

- Donations made on a regular basis (for example by standing order) are particularly appreciated, as they allow us to plan properly for the future.

- When a Gift Aid declaration is completed on any donation, at no additional cost to you, we can receive an extra 25p for every pound that you give.
