A Heartfelt Thank You to the National Lottery: Supporting Our Saturday Workshops in Guildford
We are thrilled to announce that Synergy Dance Outreach has received funding from the National Lottery to expand our Saturday workshop programmes, in Guildford, Surrey, designed for children and young people with wide-ranging Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and long-term or life-limiting health conditions.
We believe in the transformative power of music and movement for children and teens, and this funding will support Saturday workshop programs that are specifically designed to provide a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where children and teens can explore their creativity, improve their physical health, and build social connections.
What This Funding Means to Us
At Synergy Dance Outreach, we are dedicated to providing an inclusive and supportive environment where every child can thrive.
The funding is supporting the positive impact we strive to make in the lives of children and young people in our community. Here’s how this incredible support will help us:
Increased Accessibility The funding allows us to make our workshops more accessible to a broader range of children and young people.
Inclusive and Safe Environment Creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment is at the heart of our program.
The Impact of Our Workshops
Our Saturday workshops are designed to provide a holistic approach to the development and well-being of children and young people with SEND. Here are some of the key benefits our participants experience:
Physical Health and Fitness: Through dance, music, and movement, our participants improve their physical health, coordination, and motor skills in a fun and engaging way.
Social Connections: The workshops offer a unique opportunity for children and young people to build friendships, develop social skills, and feel a sense of community and belonging.
Emotional Well-Being: Engaging in creative activities helps reduce anxiety and stress, promoting emotional well-being and allowing participants to express themselves freely.
Confidence and Self-Esteem: Through improvisation and imaginative play, children and young people gain confidence and self-esteem, empowering them to take on new challenges both inside and outside the workshop.
Communication Skills: Integrating MAKATON signing and interactive activities enhances communication skills, especially for non-verbal participants, ensuring everyone can express their needs and emotions effectively.
