Replace vandalised windows and upgrade CCTV inside and out in our dance Studio

by Steppin' Out Academy in Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, United Kingdom

We were victims of antisocial behaviour and as a result our dance studios suffered extensive damage to our windows.  As a tenant we are responsible for windows and therefore we cannot claim on insurance.  
This happened before the horrific Southport incident and now we would also love to not only repair our windows but upgrade our CCTV system to both inside and outside the building front and back. As a small business we survive on a day to day basis and we do not have any funds to do this.
We have done everything to make our dance studios a beautiful place for the local community children to come and train and to make it a safe space.
We try and give so much back to the community, we offer talent and means tested scholarships to make dance accessible to all and many on this scheme have secured places at top dance colleges and gone on to perform in the West End and on TV. Our students have been a part of Team England in the Dance World Cup for the last four years and we try and create many opportunities for them all.
Every £1 donated will be invested into making our studios a safe and secure place for young people to experience the joy of dance.
