Story

Born to Shine is the charitable arm of Born to Perform. We believe in

*Empower Youth: Create a vibrant environment where young people can explore their creativity and develop essential life skills, laying the groundwork for personal and professional growth.

*Foster Community: Build a supportive community that encourages connection and collaboration among young individuals, fostering friendships and a sense of belonging.

*Raise Awareness: Advocate for the critical importance of arts education and personal development in shaping resilient and inspired future leaders.

Our goals are to engage and empower people by improving well-being, self-esteem & confidence in those that are socially isolated for a range of different reasons (eg. health, finance, age, gender, etc).

We can achieve this by…

1. Organising recreational activities

2. Increasing the number and availability of inclusive clubs

3. Decreasing social isolation

4. Providing lectures and training on inclusion

5. Reducing negative perceptions of disability, mental health and disengaged youth

Any funds raised will go towards our SEND youth initiatives and adult day provision lifeskills hub.
