STAGES 2025 is supporting the Bristol-based charity, Flamingo Chicks. Together we're breaking down barriers and putting disabled children in the spotlight through dance!
Since 2013, Flamingo Chicks has given 47,778 children with additional needs the opportunity to explore movement through dance, creating a more inclusive world where all abilities are celebrated.
Why This Matters
Disabled children face significant barriers to being active, with 41% remaining inactive and obesity rates 38% higher than their peers. They also face a loneliness epidemic, with 45% regularly feeling lonely.
Flamingo Chicks is changing this. Dance is more than movement—it’s a powerful tool for social connection, confidence, and wellbeing.
📊 Flamingo Chicks' impact:
🦩 81% of children see improved physical wellbeing
