by | Apr 20, 2026

LAURA’S 24 HOUR DANCEATHON is a fundraiser in support of Wayfinder Woman charity taking place over from midday on the 15 and 16 May.

This is a fundraiser in lieu of Laura’s 70th birthday. She has been in training for several months and is being joined by various local dance studio teachers and individuals who will be keeping her company for around an hour at a time throughout the 24 hours. She will be trying many different dance styles from Rave to Line Dancing, Salsa to ballet, 70s disco to Tango and Jive to traditional Indian dancing and lots more.

She would love it if anyone would like to join her over the 24 hours for a small donation to keep her going and for the fun then just book on the website, so she knows you are coming. You could even learn a few steps if you wish by joining in. If you would like to donate you can go to the website www.wayfinderwoman.org.uk and you will find her posters and flyers around town with a QR code to donate and find more details or go to https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/danceathon2026.

Every step, every song and every hour danced represents a woman who needs support and she needs your help. Dance with her, donate and share this event. If you cannot be there in person, you can join the event virtually and watch the livestream, you could even have a party at home and raise money at the same time. Go to the website for full details of how to watch and a list of all the dances. You can also email info@wayfinderwoman.org.uk. This will all be taking place at the
