Story

Welcome to our JustGiving page – and thank you so much for stopping by.

We’re thrilled to be bringing back the second Derbyshire UnStrictly Dancing Fundraiser – and I’d love your support.

As many of you know, dance is a real passion of mine, and this year’s UnStrictly Spectacular promises to be bigger, bolder, and even more moving than before.

🗓 Join us on Friday, May 16th at the University of Derby for an unforgettable evening of glitter, rhythm, and heart.

🎟 Get your tickets now: www.unstrictly.co.uk

🌟 The show will feature:

12 local ‘celebrity’ dancers

Professional performances

A live band

Showcases from brilliant dance groups

A panel of four judges

And plenty of surprises along the way!

You'll see some familiar faces take to the floor, all raising money for two truly special causes.

❤️ This year, we’re honouring the memory of Lewis Sewell, a gifted young performer who dreamed of helping other aspiring artists overcome the financial hurdles of auditioning for theatre school.

Even while battling a rare cancer, Lewis lived with Courage, Positivity, and Resilience—values now at the heart of the Lewis Sewell Memorial Trust. His legacy continues to help young talent take flight.

💖 And yes—Lewis’s mum, Gillian, will be stepping onto the dancefloor herself in a beautiful and brave tribute to her son.

We’re also proud to be raising funds for Umbrella Derby and Derbyshire, a charity making a difference every day in the lives of disabled children and their families.

If you can’t attend, but still want to support, please consider donating or do both if you wish.

🧡 Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact.

JustGiving is fast, secure, and simple, your donation goes straight to the charities involved.

Let’s dance for joy, for memory, for hope and for change.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
