✨Every year we transform the lives of many dancers, dance teachers and choreographers through our grants. All thanks to gifts in Wills from supporters like you. But don't just take our word for it, here's some of the feedback we've had from just some of those we've supported:

It's #RememberACharityWeek. Will you support the future of dance by leaving a gift in your will? We've been providing dance professionals with advice, support and grant programmes for over 80 years. We couldn't do this without your support. https://bit.ly/4moRUyw @rememberacharity.bsky.social

One week to go until #RememberACharityWeek, an opportunity for everyone to take a moment to consider leaving a gift to charity in their Will, after looking after family and friends. This year also marks 25 years of RACWeek! www.rememberacharity... @rememberacharity
