2025 Impact: Supporting Ukraine’s young dancers
In 2025, we proudly delivered the first phase of our project to support aspiring young dancers in Ukraine, helping them continue their training despite the disruption caused by war.
Thanks to the exceptional generosity of Ferrexpo and Freed of London, we secured dancewear with a retail value of £166,000. This support was delivered in partnership with the NGO partner, the Union of Entrepreneurs Film and Television Industry (Unified State Register 36844356), which coordinated distribution to leading state dance schools.
As a result, essential dancewear has been supplied for more than 1,000 students in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Poltava and L'viv, including high-quality pointe shoes, which are now extremely difficult to get in Ukraine. Pointe shoes must be replaced frequently and are fundamental to a dancer’s professional development.
