Imagine if your pupils could help fund a new sensory garden, sports kit, library books or creative resources… simply by dancing.

Fundraising for schools isn’t easy.
That’s why we created Dance for Diabetes.

A simple, ready-to-go dance resource, educational content and classroom-ready packs containing all the materials you need are prepared for you and delivered directly to your school office.

With minimal planning or administrative time required, Dance for Diabetes gets every child involved while helping your school generate unbudgeted, unrestricted funds to spend where they’re needed most.

No complicated planning.
No sourcing materials.
Just register, share and get dancing.

A look back at an incredible Dance for Diabetes 2026.

This year saw record participation, record fundraising and a record number of smiling children dancing together to make a difference.

Schools across the UK came together to get active, raise awareness and support vital diabetes research, while also raising funds for their own schools through our unique 60/40 fundraising model.

Thank you to every school, pupil, parent, teacher and supporter who made 2026 our biggest year yet.

Meet Our Dance Partner

FunKidz Dance Limited

Since 2022, we have been proud to partner with FunKidz Dance, who bring the energy, creativity and movement behind Dance for Diabetes to life.

Led by Samantha Collins, Managing Director of FunKidz Dance, the team creates the fun, accessible dance content that schools use throughout the programme.

Their approach is all about making dance enjoyable, inclusive and easy for schools to deliver, regardless of pupils’ confidence, ability or previous dance experience.

From warm-ups and step-by-step routines to the full performance, FunKidz helps make sure every child can get involved, have fun and feel part of something special.

Together, DRWF and FunKidz have built Dance for Diabetes into a programme that combines movement, education, fundraising and community spirit in a way that schools can really get behind.

Because Dance for Diabetes is not about being the best dancer. It is about taking part, having fun and making a difference.


Thank you.
