“It will give us the chance to set up and run two dance groups which are especially tailored to the needs of people with learning disabilities across North Devon.”
“This will not only be healthy and educational, but lots of fun too.”
The money was raised through the Health Lottery which has raised more than half a million pounds so far.
HealthContact Director, Chris Lunn said: “This fantastic project aims to improve the overall health and well-being of people with learning disabilities in North Devon through the delivery of specially-devised dance and movement workshops that explore a range of themes including emotions, rights to independence, choice, inclusion, safety, bullying, friendships, eating properly and keeping fit.”
