Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story!

Now aged twelve, I started dancing at 18 months old and got all my love, grounding and knowledge from Stephanie Parrott my first Ballet teacher. I auditioned with hundreds of other dancers back in January 2017, I was offered a place at both Tring Park and The Hammond - two of the UK's leading schools for performing arts. Following the final audition at The Hammond I was offered a place to start studying September 2017. This place, however, was not fully funded - in order to make my dreams come true I needed to raise £4500.00 per term for the next five years to top up the bursary from The Hammond.

I have now finished my first year at The Hammond and with the amazing help of fundraising and donations we achieved our fees, so we are continuing to fundraise for me to complete my 2nd year following my dream.

We have many fundraising events planned already, including psychic supper nights, Wine & Cheese Evenings, Curry Evenings, Barn Dances, Bingo Nights, Carwash Days, the list seems endless, for all dates of the events go to Facebook : lara Gardner
