Help Our Young Dancers Reach the U.Dance National Finals

After an incredible year of hard work and dedication, our talented youth company ELYDC have been selected to represent London at the U.Dance National Festival in Glasgow this July — a huge honour and a life changing opportunity.

For these young people ELYDC is more than a group. It’s a place where they build confidence, express themselves, and feel they belong. Now, they have the chance to perform on a national stage, share their voices, and create memories that will shape their futures. This is an opportunity of a lifetime.

But we need your help to get them there.

The total cost of the trip is £5,000, covering travel, accommodation, food, and essential support — around £416 per young person. As a charity, we are contributing £1,500, but we must raise the remaining funds to ensure that every dancer can take part, regardless of financial circumstances.

Your support can make this possible. Every donation, no matter the size, helps unlock this opportunity and shows these young people that their talent matters.

They’ve earned their place — let’s help them take the stage.

Please donate and be part of their journey.

Please note that if we do not raise the full amount and are therefore unable to take them to Glasgow, any donations received will be used to support our youth dance activity in other ways.
