Ceri Carney

Dancer Ceri Carney applied to Dance Professionals Fund after experiencing severe post-natal mental health issues. With a grant from our fund, Ceri was able to refer herself and her baby to one of the UK’s rare Mother & Baby Units, which although was far from home, helped her recover over a period of eight weeks, whilst her husband took care of their eldest child.

“Thanks to the hard work of all at the Rainbow Unit I am now well on the way to recovery.”

“The grant from DDF has really helped take some of the financial impact my illness has had on our family.
It will make such a difference to the debt we have got ourselves into and it means we can support our girls without the extra stress we were facing. The future feels a little brighter. I can’t thank them enough”
