SUPPORT US
DNA is a registered charity in England and Wales 1202883
At DNA, we are committed to enriching lives and creating supportive, joyful communities through the power of dance, movement, and connection. Every class we offer is more than a session; it's a lifeline of laughter, memory, and friendship that deeply impacts participants and their families.
​
With your help, we can keep these programmes thriving, from supporting people with lived conditions such as Dementia and Parkinson’s to providing caregivers with a compassionate space to connect and rejuvenate to inspiring, motivating, and providing access to the arts for your people.
Our classes go beyond what we call just a 'Dance Class'.
​
They’re moments of joy, movement, memory and connection, all made possible by your generosity.
Would you consider donating today to keep the rhythm dancing?
​
Every gift, whether large or small, brings us closer to sustaining our programmes, supporting more people and reaching more communities.
​
Your contribution will help us:
-
Continue essential programmes for those living with physical and cognitive challenges.
-
Train and equip our dedicated artists to provide the best care and joy possible.
-
Expand our reach to bring these life-changing classes to new areas.
Thank you for being a vital part of our community and believing in the power of dance to transform people's lives. Together, we can make each step and smile count.

CHRISTMAS BIG GIVE CAMPAIGN - BECOME A DNA PLEDGER
This year, for the first time, DNA could be part of the UK’s biggest match-funding campaign: the Big Give Christmas Challenge. Every pound donated to DNA during the campaign could be doubled, meaning we can bring more smiles, joy, and meaningful connections through dance to people living with dementia, Parkinson’s, and those at risk of isolation this winter.
​
To unlock this potential, we first need to build a match-funding pot. We’ve already raised £1400 in pledges from supporters, friends and family.
A pledge is simply a promise to donate after the campaign ends (from 9 December 2025). It won’t be taken now, but it will help unlock public donations and potentially the impact of your support.
The deadline to pledge is 5pm on Thursday 29 August 2025 and it only takes a moment to complete the form: Make a Pledge Here
​
This is how it works if you are new to the Big Give: explainer video
​
Thank you for considering this. Your support could make this first Big Give campaign a huge success and ensure even more people feel connected and valued this Christmas.
​
If you’d like to chat further about this, I’d be happy to arrange a call before the 29 August.
