Corporate Partnerships

Your business. Our community. A lasting impact.

Could your business help us keep communities across Essex dancing, creating and connecting?

At Dance Network Association (DNA), we believe that everyone deserves opportunities to experience the joy of dance, movement and meaningful human connection, regardless of age, ability or health condition.

Our community programmes support people living with dementia, Parkinson's and other health conditions, alongside carers, companions and adults who may be experiencing isolation or loneliness.

As a small Essex-based charity, we know that meaningful partnerships can make an extraordinary difference.

By partnering with DNA, your business can help us reach more people, create stronger communities and support better health and wellbeing through dance.

Whether you're a small independent business, a local employer or a larger organisation looking to make a positive social impact, we'd love to explore how we can work together.

There Are So Many Ways to Get Involved

Corporate partnerships don't have to mean large financial donations. From sharing your skills and resources to sponsoring a community programme, every contribution can make a meaningful difference.

We're keen to build partnerships that reflect your organisation's values, interests and capacity, while making a lasting impact on the communities we serve. Here are some ways you can help!

“Over the last 18 months, Parkinson’s UK has supported DNA by funding venue costs, helping to keep these vital dance sessions running.

I have seen first-hand their positive impact, supporting physical and emotional wellbeing, confidence and social connection for people living with Parkinson’s.

DNA represents the very best of community-based creative health practice,"
