Delight
People: Improving people’s mental wellbeing
We wish to pay for 540 children from disadvantaged backgrounds to participate in a six-week dance storytelling journey to improve their mental health, physical wellbeing, confidence and literacy.
About this cause
Delight aims to improve the lives of children affected by disadvantage. Our joyful and immersive arts programmes in primary schools enable children to work alongside artists, actors and dancers. Delight programmes improve children's mental wellbeing and learning engagement, raise aspirations and confidence, and ensure that every child has an equal opportunity to thrive during their school years and beyond.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Delight in Dance brings communities together as children collaborate with classmates and work with professional dancers to create dance stories that are performed to families and the local community. We have run Delight in Dance for three years and have strong evidence to show the programme improves children's mental wellbeing and physical health and supports communities in celebrating together.
