We’re bringing Groovin Well back to Dover – and we need your help. From 10 June to 8 July 2025, we’re launching a crowdfunding campaign to make it happen.
Dover is home to a growing ageing population and faces significant economic challenges. Older people in the area are often marginalised, more isolated, and more lonely.
That’s where Groovin Well comes in. We want to run a 24-week programme of free, inclusive dance and movement workshops for people aged 50 and over, aimed at improving physical health, boosting mental wellbeing, and reducing social isolation.
The supportive and non-judgemental sessions allow everyone to contribute and feel proud of what they create. We really want to offer this programme for Dover again in 2025 – with your help, we can make it happen.
We’ve secured £6,000 in match funding from Kent County Council’s Public Health Fund (£5,000) and NHS Kent and Medway (£1,000), but we need to raise £6,500 from our wonderful supporters and the wider public to unlock the funds.
The campaign launches on 10 June and runs for 4 weeks until 8 July 2025. Every single pledge will help get Dover dancing again.
We’d love you to spread the word and, if you can, pledge your support once we go live next week.
