The idea of "Swinging Vegas" came about after our son James was diagnosed with Meningitis at 15 months old. Thankfully he has pulled through, but the aftermath is that he is now profoundly deaf. We thought dancing would be a great vehicle to raise some money for charity; so far we have raised funds for:

The Meningitis Research Foundation | Cheltenham Animal Shelter

Gloucestershire Deaf Children's Society | Gloucester Feed The Hungry

C.L.I.C.  | The Levana Hanson Trust  | Chect  | Archie's Chance To Dance

Gloucestershire Young Carers  |  Kidney Research Foundation  |  Longfield Hospice

New Start Cat Rescue  |   Gloucester Food Bank |   M.N.D.A Motor Neurone Disease Association

Cheltenham Animal Shelter  | The Holly Gazzard Trust

Thanks so much for everything you have helped us achieve!

Our 2023 Swinging Vegas raised an Incredible - £2762.03

Our running total of funds for our chosen charities is now £96858.97

Swinging Vegas

Charity Dance (Edition 22)

It always was (and always will be) the best night of the year.

We are going to run our Swinging Vegas Dance in 2026
(The 22nd Edition)
 

Everyone' had us retired (or dead) but we have been waiting and watching and hoping that maybe something would come along to invigorate us and inspire us. The inspiration is (and always has been our son James)

'Swinging Vegas' is a dance - There will be a raffle - there maybe a cabaret, there will be superb music, there will be an atmosphere 2nd to none, there will be maximum effort, there will be good dancing, there will be nice people and there will be other stuff.
