BAND

Bristol Association for Neighbourhood Daycare (BAND) ensures that childcare in Bristol is of the highest quality by supporting and developing clubs and childcare staff.  BAND has a membership of 177 clubs, many of which are based in deprived areas of Bristol.

​

The Foundation has paid for 10 free inclusive children’s
dance workshops to take place during the school holidays over the year. Each workshop will cater for 25 children aged between 4-13 years, and are offered to inclusive childcare settings that support non-disabled and disabled children. These settings include children who have Downs Syndrome, Autism, limited mobility and complex health care needs.

​​

The workshops will allow disabled children to be equally involved alongside their non-disabled peers and will help improve collaboration, team working and social skills, as well as breaking down stereo-types and stigmas about disabilities.
