Daisy Chain Rising Stars
Rising Stars aims to enrich the lives of Autistic Children and Young People (CYP) through performing arts, encouraging beneficiaries to express themselves. The project is creating inclusive and accessible environments allowing Autistic CYP opportunities to access performing arts activities which are typically accessed by neurotypical individuals. Autistic CYP will grow in confidence, develop communication skills, and build friendships.

Dance Base
Dance for Parkinson’s Scotland
Dance Base is continuing to grow and develop the vital Dance for Parkinson’s Scotland programme, improving the quality of life of hundreds of people living with Parkinson’s and their families/carers across Scotland. This nation-wide programme supports people with Parkinson’s through specialised movement classes addressing the specific concerns of Parkinson’s and providing a space for connection and solidarity between participants. Funding is enabling Dance Base to continue to deliver its own weekly classes in Edinburgh and support the establishment of two new classes to add to the growing network.
