Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As a student and dancer in a wonderful industry I have watched, sadly, some beautiful dancers, teachers and other professionals experience mental health conditions. I have seen how lives and careers can be affected and how accessing the right support can be difficult.

Mental illness is not a choice and not a sign of weakness and it can affect anyone in all walks of life. But the steps taken by people and communities to support and understand the issues are choices, and ones which we all play a part in making every day.

STEPPS is a charity of which I am proud to be a trustee. It is on a mission to address mental health in the dance industry, working to ensure dancers experiencing mental health challenges feel seen, understood and supported so they can enjoy what they love.

This is something very close to my heart and any contribution, no matter how small is greatly appreciated by this up and coming charity which is poised to do incredible work to ensure people have fulfilling and long careers in an industry they love so much.

Thank you so much
