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
