As a grassroots, not-for-profit organisation, your donations are essential to our mission. Every contribution goes directly towards our charitable activity - whether it’s providing a bursary for a learning disabled artist to train with us, covering the cost of costumes for our community performances, or supporting our team to deliver life-changing creative opportunities.

​

Our Impact

 

Thanks to supporters like you, our work creates meaningful and measurable change. Over the last five years, evaluation has shown that our programmes lead to:

​

• Improved health, wellbeing and confidence

• Better access to employment and bespoke training

• Stronger communication skills, leading to greater independence and agency

• Reduced isolation, with participants and their support networks feeling more connected to each other and their community

​

What Your Donation Supports

 

Your gift helps us create opportunities, remove barriers, and champion people with learning disabilities and neurodivergence at every stage of their journey:

​

• Free, high-quality training
  The average UK dancer spends £5,000–£30,000 a year on training. We provide free, accessible, professional-level training to our ConfiCo artists, removing financial barriers that prevent people from pursuing a career in dance.

​​

• Paid work for learning-disabled artists
  Only 8% of paid artists in the UK are disabled — and just 5% of learning-disabled people are in paid employment. We change this by offering freelance contracts that recognise our artists’ talent, professionalism and creativity.

​​

• Representative performances for young people
  We bring inspiring, inclusive work such as Give Me Space into SEND schools and professional venues across Kent, showing young people that the stage is a place for them, too.

​​

• Shifting perceptions and driving change

Through performances, teacher training, CPD events and national research, we advocate for high expectations, better access, and long-term change in how society values learning-disabled artists.

​​

• Ambitious, person-centred work experience
  We provide bespoke placements that give aspiring dancers meaningful industry experience and help them work towards their personal goals.
