by

Children’s Activities Week has started!

We’re so excited to be part of this amazing week celebrating joy, creativity, and confidence that children’s activities bring.

At diddi dance, we’ll be dancing, giggling, and grooving through a week of fun and imagination – all while supporting the wonderful charity Caudwell Children. 

Together, we can help change the lives of disabled and autistic children across the UK.

Please donate to this amazing cause and 100% of all donations go directly to the charity.

Let’s make memories, raise smiles and show the world the power of dance.

Check for classes near you now, or contact your local diddi dance teacher for more information. We can’t wait to see you.

diddi dance is so proud to support Children’s Activities Week with What’s On 4 Kids UK again this year!

Every year Children’s Activities Week raises vital funds for Caudwell Children and it will be held 12th – 18th May 2025.

We join thousands of other activity providers across the UK to celebrate the wonderful fun we have in sessions and raise money for such a brilliant charity – Caudwell Children. They are dedicated to increasing equal access to opportunities for children and families with all abilities across the UK.

In previous years the theme has been I Can Fly where we encourage children in class to dress up and donate. This year the theme is #standup4send with a Makaton challenge in class which has been created by our wonderful franchisee Josie of diddi dance Torbay, Central Exeter & Surrounding and we hope to raise as much money as possible. You can donate to our JustGiving page here.

For more information speak to your local diddi dance teacher and visit Caudwell Children to find out about the amazing charity that Children’s Activities support.
