30 Days of Disco
Dance through the 30 days of June and raise money for grieving children and young people
Dance for fun, fitness or to remember a loved one and help raise money for grieving children, young people and families.
Fundraise at home, as a school or group, or at work and join the #30DaysOfDisco party.
Music, dance and grief
Music is a powerful tool to help us to connect to memories and emotions. It can also be used as a tool for coping with our grief and loss.
Here are 5 ways we can use music and dance to help:
- It provides a safe space to feel the emotions of loss
- It can helps us to express our big emotions
- Music can calm the body and mind
- Music and dance connects us with other people
- Music helps us to honour the memory of our loved ones

Get Involved

Fundraise at home
Dance at home for 30 minutes every day throughout June and ask your friends and family to sponsor you. Dance at home, in the garden or with friends, the choice is yours.

Join in at work
- Choose one of the 30 days in June to host your own Disco day. Arrive at work dressed up in party clothes, dance for 30 minutes in your lunch break and donate.
- Arrange a sponsored danceathon with your colleagues and see how long you can keep the party going!
- Ask your employers if they could take part in ‘matched funding’ where they would match whatever you raise.
However you decide to join in the fun, warm up with a dance challenge in June and show off your best moves. Don’t forget to share on your social media any pics or videos using the hashtag #30DaysofDisco

Schools and groups
The holidays might be over but there’s no reason the fun needs to end. Take over a PE lesson, breakfast club or after school club with some fantastic tunes and turn it into your very own class, year or whole school disco dancing session!
If you have your own idea for a dancing challenge we’d love you to be part of the fun. Sign up below and let us know your plans.
Join the party!
How your support helps
The money you raise by taking part in #30DaysOfDisco will help to support the children and young people we support with services like our Helpline, text service and young people’s website.
By dancing you can play your part in providing vital support for the children, young people and families who need us now, and in the future.
