“Through the DPF I was able to receive regular private physio that enabled me to get back on track and focus on rehabilitation without worrying about my bank balance.”
Caitlin Barnett
Choreographer and dance teacher
Caitlin is a freelance choreographer and dance teacher.
“Before finding out about the Dance Professionals Fund I was really struggling with a long term injury that had begun to impact my day to day life on top of my work life.”
Caitlin had been receiving physio through the NHS but unfortunately they weren’t able to offer the kind of treatment Caitlin needed.
“I was going through an unsteady period of work and was getting increasingly concerned and anxious as to how I was going to finance much needed, regular physio.”
Caitlin applied to us and we were able to offer a grant for the physio.
“The staff at DPF were incredibly understanding and kind when I explained my situation and put me at ease immediately. Through the DPF I was able to receive regular private physio that enabled me to get back on track and focus on rehabilitation without worrying about my bank balance.
I have, touch wood, not had to revisit the physio and it’s safe to say I have been in a much happier state of mind since!”
