We are delighted to share the news that Dance Creative has been successful in recent applications to the local Community Insight Profile Fund in 3 different areas of the county which means our Bicester, Oxford & Witney classes are all being supported from the fund this year.
- Dance for Life Bicester from the West Bicester Community Insight Fund
- Dance for Life Witney from the Witney Central Community Insight Fund
- Silver Shakers in Wood Farm from the Oxford Community Insight Fund
We are grateful to the teams administering these funds from Oxford City Council, Cherwell District Council and West Oxfordshire District Council and look forward to welcoming more new people to our groups to experience the joy and wellbeing that dancing together can bring (followed by the just as important cuppa and chat of course).
We look forward to meeting their representatives as they visit our groups in the coming weeks and for the opportunity to link up with other local groups and activities that are being supported by the funding.

We can also share that we have been awarded a grant from the Connected Communities Fund. https://communityfirstoxon.org/community-action/community-health-wellbeing/
The Connected Communities Fund is delivered in partnership by OCVA and Community First Oxfordshire on behalf of Oxfordshire County Council.
Alongside other funding sources this will enable us to continue our projects for another year while we work on further fundraising bids to secure the long term future of all our groups.
We are grateful to all those who support Dance Creative in our mission to improve the physical and mental health and wellbeing of all the people who come to dance with us in our Oxfordshire groups and to help reduce isolation and build a strong sense of community and resilience in each area where we currently work.
