The Skinners are dancing their way through 2023, competing in Martin House Strictly Get Dancing on 1^st April 2023!

To celebrate Kerry not being in Hospital or recuperating in bed, she has persuaded (harassed) her poor, long-suffering husband into a dance competition! 

We have never danced before as a couple or individually, unless you count in town after several bottles of wine. We are way outside our comfort zone and despite Kerry watching strictly religiously for the last few years this will be our first foray into anything like this.

To our family and friends, we cannot thank you enough for all the support throughout Kerry’s cancer treatment.  We would be grateful if you sponsor us, to raise funds for a cuddle cot/blanket for Martin House Children’s Hospice.

The CuddleCot cooling cot and the CuddleBlanket mortuary blanket provide grieving families an opportunity to spend time with their loved ones without having to cool the whole room. Some families wish to spend time with their loved ones either at home, in the hospice or at the hospital, rather than at a funeral home. The portable CuddleCot and CuddleBlanket allow families to cool a baby who has died, child or adult, thereby preserving their appearance, condition and dignity.

We will be sharing our journey on our Instagram & Facebook pages. You can also witness the shambles and upload the hilarious footage of The Skinners dancing to your social media by coming along to the event, get your tickets here:
