DARE UPDATES

Thanks to County Durham Community Foundation for supporting us with funding from the Community Safety Fund. This will enable us to start a girls only project in Shildon with first sessions due to begin October 2022 and finishing May 2023. We have planned a range of activities for women to create a sense of belonging and confidence and empower the local community. Sessions will consist of various dance and fitness activities as well as group discussions and peer support to achieve the best result in improving both mental and physical health.

We are delighted to share that we have been given funding from the Awards for All to start a pilot programme for a project of activity in North Tyneside. The project will be a chance for young people with a disability and their families to work together in interpretive dance sessions to improve both their mental and physical health and give them an opportunity to work creatively and explore new skills and abilities.

Our project ‘Happy Healthy Future’ has come to an end, finishing in May. We are so overwhelmed with the community response and the numbers of young people who got involved in the sessions and joined us on regular basis. We are so pleased to see that our work has such an impact and that we were able to work with so many young people to help them improve their mental and physical health as well as instigating a change for their future.

We can’t wait to see what other projects we will be able to bring to life to support our community.
