Akers of Art does Strictly

I am taking part in Strictly goes Dirty Dancing!!
 
I'm swapping my sensible shoes for some sparkly ones and heading to the ballroom! I'm taking on a massive challenge: learning a full dance routine for Strictly Come Dancing… all to raise vital funds for Shelter.
 
And we're not just doing any old dance, we're bringing the heat with the ultimate theme: Dirty Dancing! And ‘Yes’, I’m channelling my inner Baby (and maybe a little Johnny Castle) to tackle a routine that demands passion, precision, and, let's be honest, a little bit of courage.
 
Inside I’m saying "eeeeeeek!… so excited but also a little nervous. You may think I am an ‘outgoing type of gal’but getting up in front of an audience to dance is definitely out of my comfort zone! I’ll do it though, as I’m determined to raise £2,000 to help Shelter fight the housing emergency.
 
Why Your Donation is So Important?
For many people, the thought of having a safe, stable home is a distant dream. Shelter provides essential help, advice, and campaigning to fight for a better future for those experiencing homelessness and bad housing.

 
How your generosity can immediately make a real, tangible impact:

• £5 - Covers travel costs so someone can attend a job interview or flat viewing, helping them take the first steps toward independence.

• £10 - Provides 4 hot, nourishing meals to those in need.

• £25 - Helps someone access professional counselling for mental wellbeing and recovery from trauma.

• £48 - Funds a support worker to help someone in temporary accommodation find stable, permanent housing.
 
Please Help Me Achieve the Lift?

I'm giving this challenge absolutely everything I've got, but I need your help to hit that £2,000 target.
Every single donation, big or small, will help make a difference in someone’s life.
