We had so much fun celebrating an early world Down Syndrome Awareness Day with Candles – Down Syndrome Support Group in Colchester this March. If you need some extra joy and happiness today, check out this FANTASTIC video of our MCGL dancers and our Candles family.

This was such a heartwarming event and the children were so adorable!
Thank you for having us!

Supporting Children with Cancer UK

Supporting Children with Cancer UK 2560 1600 Isabel Yorke

This September, McGahan Lees took part in the Southern England Regional Council fundraiser for Children with Cancer UK, whilst remembering those we have sadly lost.

We dedicated our Tuesday classes (28th September) to supporting this great cause, and so far, we have managed to raise over £2000. Thank you to everyone who donated – every penny counts!

You can still donate here!

 

 

Supporting local food banks during lockdown

Supporting local food banks during lockdown 1024 1024 McGL Team

The free school meal vouchers really highlighted the lack of food shortages in our communities. So, we thought that we would try and help. We did collections at all our dance locations and supported food banks in our areas:

Colchester
Chelmsford
Kent
Oxford

To be able to help so many people across multiple locations is so humbling and we couldn’t have done it without our MCGL families 💛 thank you all for your amazing generosity!
