Charity Linedance for Cancer Research 2005 Over 100 dancers and non dancers attended our afternoon and evening non stop linedance sessions to raise over £700 for Cancer Research. This total does not include the money people have raised for the sponsored non stop linedance - what wonderful, generous people they all are! We have now raised £10,000.00!  Click here for photos

Our first major fundraising event was for Macmillan Nurses, and with a non-stop Linedance evening, we raised a staggering £2,000.00, which made all the hard work worthwhile.  Everyone was thrilled at the amount.

In 2004 the
Osteoporosis Society came along to one of our class nights and screened people, to promote awareness and prevention.

For
Christmas 2003 we raised approximately £50 for the Breast Cancer Campaign selling charity Christmas cards. We have also sold badges for them, which brought in £200.00. 

We do not just raise money for individual charities.  We have supported Harrow Council and danced in Harrow Town Centre and have also supported our local Lions in their efforts to raise funds for charities.

March 19th 2010: Osteoporosis Screening - To promote health awareness, we have arranged another screening to give people a chance to take action before the disease becomes apparent. Linedancing builds up bone density because it is low impact. And it's FAR more enjoyable than slogging in the gym or "power-walking" while breathing in petrol fumes!
October 2008 and 2009: We danced in Harrow and Uxbridge supporting the "Day for the Older Person"

September 2008 and 2009 : 1st Steps again led the "Relay for Life" line-dancing at the Roger Bannister Centre in Harrow, in celebration of the survivors of cancer and to remember those who lost the fight.

June 2008: Osteoporosis Screening

In Spring/Summer 2007, we raised £10,000 for the Stoke Mandeville and Queen Charlotte's SCBUs, in gratitude for their role in saving the life of baby Aedhan. Read his story below.

The major event in this fund-raising effort was when the fabulous Glenn Rogers generously gave a free performance to swell the funds.
