Funded Projects
As a charity we are dedicated to providing meaningful opportunities for children, young people and vulnerable adults to engage with and experience dance and movement based learning. Our work focuses on creating inclusion and equality for those with ill health, physical disability, SEN, financial hardship, or other disadvantages who are often disregarded or less well served by mainstream dance programmes.
To illustrate the difference we can make and the benefits of our sessions, please watch the clip below:

The Co-op Community Fund

The William Brake Foundation

The London Mayor and The Sports Inclusion Fund

BBC Children in Need
Supported by BBC Children in Need, MovementWorks are providing a specialist dance programme for various groups of children with complex needs who experience communication difficulties.
Arts Council England and The National Lottery
With a grant from Arts Council England and The National Lottery, MovementWorks were able to offer ‘MovementWorks Online’, an innovative inclusive weekly programme of dance and movement classes that support children with and without Special Educational Needs. The offer also includes classes that support vulnerable adults and the physical and emotional health and wellbeing of parents and carers of children and adults across the country.
UK Youth
Thanks to a grant from UK Youth, we were able to extend the ‘MovementWorks Online’, project and provide the daily classes that our service users had come to rely on during the Lockdown.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We have been based in South East London since 2012. We work closely with the local community, outreach to other boroughs and present our work at National level.
Our approach is unique in a number of ways:
- our work is evidence based
- we provide inclusive dance programmes that focus on child development and individuals with special needs (including autism and related differences)
- our programmes increase whole-body learning experiences in a structured, socially interactive and enjoyable way
- we provide training courses and share best practice through community workshops aimed at educators, parents and carers.
Our objects are for the public benefit, the advancement of education and the arts and the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. For more information about the classes and sessions we provide please visit our School Projects and Community Classes pages.
