Despite us all having unique stories to tell about our pandemic experience, we can all empathise with the feeling of being isolated and alone. We are only beginning to discover the true impact lockdown restrictions have on mental health, and the depth of loneliness they have caused in our communities.  

Para Dance UK is happy to announce our new Head Adjudicator as Martin Bird.

At the end of last year, the government published their proposal for transforming public procurement, which is now out for consultation. The government’s procurement green paper is one of the biggest opportunities to influence the way in which government buys over £290bn in goods, works and services each year, right down to our local level.

Up and down the country people continue to take an ‘all hands to the pump’ approach to caring for vulnerable individuals in their communities. Volunteer organisations like Communities 1st, together with a wide range of local volunteer groups, have been beavering away silently and regularly for months, providing much-needed care and support for those who are isolated or at-risk.

We are thrilled to be launching Fit For The Floor to our Para Dance Sport athletes and instructors on Friday 19^th February.

We’ve worked in collaboration with disabled and non-disabled practitioners in the fitness, wellbeing and Dance Sport industries to give athletes a unique programme for getting back into Para Dance Sport after a lengthy time away from training and competitions due to Coronavirus. This has been made possible with funding from the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
