Community group
launches campaign
to
bring £50,000 dance
project to
Lincolnshire
Dance Factor Lincolnshire is one of only six groups in the ITV South Yorkshire Region which have been shortlisted to battle for the public vote and £50,000 worth of lottery funding from ITV’s The People’s Millions TV Competition.
The project, which is a partnership project led by community group InspireDance, will make a bid for viewers support to win the cash prize with the public voting by phone to decide who wins the funding. On Monday 24th November Dance Factor Lincolnshire will be profiled on the ITV South Yorkshire evening news (Calendar) and will compete head to head against another regional project, with the project with most votes winning the £50,000.
The Peoples Millions funding would enable Dance Factor to span across seven districts of Lincolnshire and engage in excess of 750 young people in dance. The project takes dance into local communities, providing 11-18 years olds with free evening street dance sessions which culminate in a Grand Final showcase event.
Project partners are artsNK, Transported, City of Lincoln Council, Boston Borough Council, South Holland District Council, North Kesteven District Council, North Hykeham Town Council, Positive Futures, Sportivate, Leisure in the Community, and 1Life.
Alice Carter, committee member of Inspire Dance said ‘Dance Factor gives young people the opportunity to access dance on their doorstep. Sessions are held in locations where young people may live in deprivation, with high instances of anti-social behaviour; or where young people face isolation and potential loneliness. The funding will therefore enable young people to engage in a positive activity, get active, make new friends, and take pride in representing their local area.’
InspireDance have from now until Monday 24th November to raise public awareness of the campaign and encourage people to vote for the Dance Factor project.
