Last year we reached out to community and support groups all across Thurrock who work with neuro-disabled people. Thanks to a £30,000 award from People’s Postcode Lottery, we’ve been able to offer free interactive dance sessions, using our specially designed technology.
We had a great response and we’re delighted to have visited lots of groups around the Thurrock including: Stroke Survivors Group, Thurrock and Brentwood MIND Carers, Dementia Friendly Community Cafe, Treetops Free School, Beacon Hill Academy.

These bespoke workshops, tailored to meet the specific needs and abilities of the participants, were a huge success. We saw participants experience an increased range of movement , improved cognitive attention and improved sense of wellbeing through taking part in these workshops.
One participant exclaimed the workshops are “FABALOOOOOSE” [sic], with only one participant saying they felt worse after taking part – because they felt sad the session had finished!
Clearly everyone had a lot of fun! So much so that we’re thinking of making them a regular feature on our calendar of events. Contact katie@codadance.com if you’re interested in hosting a similar workshop for a group/s you work with.
