Story

It is a sad fact that during this epidemic people will continue to be diagnosed with Cancer or are already living with Cancer.

It is our aim to continue to offer adapted support services during this challenging time, but also to ensure that the Centre will reopen (when safe to do so) and continue to offer the support we have provided to cancer patients and their families over the past 17 years. With your help we can and will achieve this.

Our hope is that you will support us by joining us and dancing with us at some point during the 24 hours /danceathon. This can be whenever you like and with whoever you like!

We would love it if households / families would join in but similarly if you are home alone we would especially value your company and support.

At 6 pm on Fri 17th April we will ask people to help us launch the Danceathon by holding a kick-off party where we invite you to party in any way you like! Why not dress up? Or down! We would love to see kids dressing up, but big kids are allowed too!!

Choose your own dance tracks why not have a family favourites play list?

It would be fabulous if you could share some images of what you do in support of us, this could be videos and or photographs. Either email to appeals... or share on our social media sites .Tag our Facebook page with live feeds and encourage others to join in. (disclaimer: we will assume consent for sharing)

If you could create a poster or sign (children please get creative for us!) and share those images that would be great!

We have organised this virtual event in the place of our previously planned forthcoming fundraising events that have now had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

If you have enjoyed dancing with us or would like to show your support for our amazing team of dancers please donate if you are able.

Thank you
