BLINK Dance Theatre granted funding by Paul Hamlyn Foundation to support nationwide Participatory and Training Programme

BLINK Dance Theatre is thrilled to announce the receipt of a grant totalling £114,000 from Paul Hamlyn Foundations’ Arts-based Learning Fund. This substantial funding, distributed over three years, will support the national expansion of BLINK’s ‘relentlessly inclusive’ NURTURE programme, reinforcing their commitment to neurodiverse-led education work in SEND settings. The grant will also enable the growth of their POLLINATE programme; an empowering training programme designed to equip emerging neurodiverse facilitators with the necessary tools to independently facilitate and develop their own practice.
