Since its creation the Foundation has raised close to 1 million to help support performance opportunities for children regardless of their ability and to provide bursaries for dedicated and enthusiastic children with potential who come from financially disadvantaged backgrounds. In particular the Foundation supports the students of two local schools theWest London School of DanceWLSD and London Vocational Ballet SchoolLVBS by aiming to enrich the lives of all children who have a passion for dance and to create a better life for each of them step by step. The Foundations generous support has helped many young hopefuls progress their ambitions and go on to dance as members of major ballet companies or become professionals in the performing arts. At WLSD and LVBS students enjoy the exciting privilege of performing annually in fabulous stage productions that the Foundation supports such as The Nutcracker at Christmas and summer productions such as Peter Pan Little Women or a grand fundraising Gala which gives them invaluable stage experience and prepares them for professions of all kinds especially those in artistic fields.
