We need to say a huge thank you to Libby and all at Dragonflies Dance for their incredible fundraising support. This is what they did......"Our dance school 'Dragonflies Dance' has been running for 5 years, this year, and so we decided to have a celebration. Dancers in the school from age 10 and up, plus their parents, friends of the school, ex pupils and the dance teachers all got dressed up and had a big party.
We had a red carpet for those important photo opportunities, a raffle, a slideshow of photos from over the years and some dancing performances.
We had dinner and a dance and played some games to also raise money for our chosen charity 'Mind in Somerset', which we felt was a fantastic local cause to raise funds for, especially as dancing is a huge part of helping to have a healthy physical and mental well being for all ages. We raised a total of £701.20 for Mind in Somerset". 💙💙💙

Mental ill health is the leading cause of sickness absence in the UK. In 2017, stress, depression or anxiety accounted for 40% of all work related ill health at an estimated cost to employers of £35bn a year, equivalent to £1,300 for every employee in the UK.
Mind in Somerset’s vision is that every employer in Somerset has access to quality mental health and well being training.
On Thursday 26th September we will be hosting a campaign launch at Dillington House to outline the range of training courses we can offer to improve workplace well being. In addition to this, we will explain how we are working in partnership with national Mind and the Time to Change (TTC) Employer Pledge programme to change the way we all think and act about mental health problems.
