My sister and I are trekking the Himalayas to help raise funds for the Charlotte Dove performing arts trust. We have been inspired by Jackie (Charlotte's mum) relentless determination to raise money to help fund youngsters passion for the arts. Whether they wish to learn dance, play a musical instrument or anything else connected to the arts, Charlotte's charity supports youngsters who are unable to pursue their joy due to lack of funds

The Trust was set up as a small Charity constitution in October 2013 in Loving memory of Charlotte. since January 2016 the Trust has now become a registered charity .

Charlotte had a passion and ambition for dance and the performing arts, this was evident from a young age. Charlotte was training to become a dance teacher and had just begun this journey when tragically her life was taken age 17.

The Trust has already given young children in the local community the opportunity to realise their potential in a variety of ways .whether this is taking part in weekly dance classes at after school clubs, talent shows or events, Every performer supported by the Trust is encouraged to explore their creativity and express themselves through dance and the performing arts regardless of their abilities.

We will be leaving England on 25th October travelling to Dharamsala, Northern India to begin our trek, The challenge will be intense and not without it's own demands, but we are determined to do it and do Charlotte proud
