Company activities and impact

During 2024/25 financial year we have continued to grow our reputation in the field of dance and health, delivering weekly dance sessions to older patients in 3 Hospitals in Bristol and Weston-Super-Mare. Our weekly classes for Misfits theatre continue and our Dance for Parkinson’s class at Coniston Community Centre is very well attended. We now have some well embedded projects that receive a lot of positive recognition. We delivered public performances across the year in hospital and outdoor settings, and we also delivered sessions as part of the enhanced care training for medical staff at Southmead Hospital. We have received business mentor and workshop support via Voscurs enterprise support programme and the Social Economy West programme. In November 2024 we received funding from the National Lottery for 2 years of company development. We received business development support from the Pilot Light programme. In April 2025 we began using FACE charities hall space for our weekly rehearsal, as part of this we have invited the local community to attend a weekly Yoga class. During 24/25, we have continued to raise the company profile, received further funding to support company development and the continuation of our hospital-based work, engaged many new participants in dance and movement - we continue to engage around 140+ participants across all our sessions every week.

Consultation with stakeholders

The Company Stakeholders are the performers and artists who deliver the work, audiences who see and participate in our performance work, workshop participants, people who attend our regular classes/projects and partners and funders of our work. We receive a lot of informal positive feedback from audiences (includes patients, visitors and staff) who experience our work. Workshop/class participants are asked to give regular informal feedback and where appropriate to fill in evaluation forms. Our response to the feedback that we receive is to allow it to inform the development and improvement of future areas of our work. We evaluate all our workshop sessions on a weekly basis. Members of the Company are regularly asked for feedback and ideas for development of future projects.
