Paul Hamlyn Foundation

One Dance UK was awarded a 5-year grant of £40,000 per year from the Backbone Fund as recognition of the important role that One Dance UK plays in the sector and as marking the establishment of a strategic relationship through which Paul Hamlyn Foundation may seek advice from time to time.

Research

One Dance UK drew down £22,500 of a £25,000 grant awarded by Arts Council England, along with a £2,500 contribution from the Dance Professionals Fund, for research and a published report on ‘The Role and Impact of Freelancers in the Dance Sector’. The research was undertaken by the School of Media and Performance, University of Bedfordshire and included the full range of activity undertaken by independent dance artists and the organisations which support this activity, including through funding, in-kind support or paid work. The completed report is aimed at providing its findings to stakeholders regarding future support for the sector and where the gaps in provision might be. The final report is expected to be disseminated in the second quarter of the 2019/20 financial year.

Get Doncaster Dancing

The scope of the project is to develop a strategic vision for dance to contribute to the reduction of physical inactivity levels in Doncaster through a community and sector led approach. The main outcomes are to improve health, social, learning and employability through dance and to reduce health inequalities particularly for women and girls with disabilities and in disadvantaged communities in Doncaster. One Dance UK was awarded £15,000 over the life of the project.
