We can assist you if you are a dancer or dance teacher in receipt of your pension.
It doesn’t matter how long ago you stopped working in dance, so long as you have evidence of your dance career. This would normally be shown on your dance CV. For dance teachers, we would need evidence e.g. you ran your own dance school and during what time frame.
Winter 2025 update: This winter, if you need additional support covering your bills, we can help you. One-off grants will be offered subject to need. Anyone in receipt of a state or private pension will be considered, including those waiting for their pension credit status to be confirmed. If you would like to be considered for a grant please fill in the contact form here, selecting the ‘pension support‘ option:
Throughout the year did you know that we can also help with:
- Housing costs
- Medical expenses
- Respite costs
- Household goods
We are most likely to give you a one-off grant, for things that you cannot afford yourself out of your retirement income. If requesting help with these items we would need to see evidence of the likely cost e.g. white good costs from a reputable supplier. If you need this assistance now, please fill in the contact form, and select ‘pension support‘.
Please see our Frequently Asked Questions for further information about who and how the fund can help.
Reapplication requests will take into account any previous funding from us.
“The help has been tantamount in enabling me to run my little car - I live in the country and would be almost housebound without it.”
