    About the Project

    Baildon Link Dancers is a welcoming dance group for all ages, run by local residents. The project offers a safe, friendly space where people can enjoy dancing, improve physical fitness, and connect socially. While the sessions focus on dance, they also help participants build friendships, reduce feelings of isolation, and foster a sense of community. Many attendees are older residents, including those recently bereaved, and the group encourages participation at any stage of life.

    • Offers an inclusive, welcoming environment for people of all ages.


    Funding Use

    The £500 requested would go towards:

    • Room hire for Baildon Link Centre for 6 months, allowing the group to continue sessions.

    Why It Matters

    By supporting Baildon Link Dancers, the project ensures that residents have access to regular, inclusive activities that promote physical health, social wellbeing, and lifelong learning through dance.
