Help 12,500 Disabled Children in the UK Dance, Connect and Belong 🦩
Every child deserves to feel included, but across the UK, 270,000 disabled children say they feel lonely EVERY day.
Flamingo Chicks changes that through joyful, inclusive dance that builds confidence, friendships and independence.
Since we began, 61,814 disabled children have danced with us.
In 2026, we want to reach 12,500 more children across the UK - helping them build confidence, friendships and connection while exploring cultures from around the world through movement and creativity.
Why This Matters
Disabled children face significant barriers to being active and socially included.
• 41% of disabled children are inactive
• Obesity rates are 38% higher than their peers
• 45% regularly feel lonely
Dance helps children feel stronger, more confident and proud of who they are.
What Flamingo Chicks Achieves
Last year alone:
✨ 14,039 children joined our inclusive dance sessions
✨ 11,406 children accessed our free online class
✨ 44 disabled children and families performed proudly at Disneyland Paris!
