July 26th marks our 1 year anniversary of Burlesque sessions for confidence and self love, and in that year we've hosted two "Age of Love Cafe" events with Dr Sharron Hinchliff to promote sexual wellbeing as a key part of wellness across the lifespan, and we will be performing in a show on Suicide Prevention Day in September.

We're raising money for our charity CLICK Arts Foundation who gives grants to grassroots arts projects (like this one) - which promote inclusivity, creativity and connectivity. Cuts to arts funding has meant many such opportunities - which can be lifelines within the community - have ceased to exist, and we're helping to change that.

So far CLICK has supported Dance, Arts & Craft, Heritage, Music and Youth projects as well as running our own activities to engage those who might not normally have the chance to participate in the arts.

We're aiming to raise £1000 because CLICK has also agreed to ringfence £500 (£50 per dancer - there are 10 of us) to purchase a costume (corset, tights, shoes) for our upcoming show, with any surplus then distributed in their next funding cycle.

There are many ways to contribute:

1. Make a donation - any amount - we're always grateful

2. DANCE WITH US!!!

It's a free event, but we'd be grateful for a donation
