Finally for we'd like to thank Gina. Check out this amazing video that features her in Netherton, made with the campaign.

Gina became a Dance to Health volunteer at our Netherton class in 2023. She started as a participant and later became a volunteer. Gina has worked in finance and accounts for much of her career. As well as volunteering with Dance to Health, she volunteers for her local church and food bank. What a gem!

For day 2 of we'd like to thank Mo!

Mo joined us as a volunteer after retiring from her job as Facilities Compliance Manager for the NHS. Mo has volunteered in several Dance to Heath classes most recently in Solihull. After gaining experience and confidence as a volunteer, she has gone on to do some paid work for us as an Assistant Dance Artist.

💃🕺

‘Being a volunteer has enabled me to grow in confidence and meet new people… I am thoroughly enjoying the focus of being part of a community where professionalism, training and education is so important and with opportunities to graduate into paid work.'

Volunteering is a great way for people to gain confidence, skills and experience which can enhance your CV and lead to paid work. 🤓

We are looking for volunteers to support some of our groups in Dudley. Interested? Contact info@dancetohealth.org

It's ! We'd like to start today by thanking Julie. Julie has volunteered with Dance to Health since 2018 after retiring from her lifelong career as a mental health nurse. She’s always loved dance, especially ballet, and when she saw some social media posts about volunteering for Dance to Health, she decided to get involved.

💃🕺

‘I really enjoy being part of the DtH class, from welcoming the participants as they come in, encouraging them through the class (also having a laugh) and sitting having a coffee and a chat with them at the end. It’s great hearing the feedback from the participants saying how much they enjoy it and the benefit they get from attending. I try and help Emma any way I can so the class runs smoothly.’

In February, Julie did a fabulous job of representing our Wales volunteers when she sat on the panel during our Q and A at our Swansea Convention. 🎤

We are so lucky to have such an enthusiastic and experienced volunteer working with us. Thank you Julie!

We’re looking for volunteers in Swansea to support our Swan Gardens class. Interested? Contact info@dancetohealth.org 😀
