Charity

At the beginning of each dance year, we choose a different charity to work with and raise money for. We tend to support local organisations in an effort to give back to our community. In the past, we have fundraised and gathered donations for Tyneside and Northumberland Mind, the Dragonfly Cancer Trust, The People’s Kitchen and last year, FACT Cancer Support.

Some of the activities we run to fundraise and spread awareness about our chosen charities include pub quizzes, movie nights, and the much anticipated annual Newcastle Come Dancing!

What is Newcastle Come Dancing?

• A night of music, laughter and dancing to raise money for charity.

• We have NCL Dance Club dancers, acting as the professionals, paired up with committee members from other societies and clubs, who make up the celebrities.

• Everyone at the event can vote for their favourite couple with donations making Strictly one of the most successful fundraising events in the year.

In 2024, the event raised a huge £2089.48 for FACT Cancer Support and in 2023, it raised a total of £1325 for The People’s Kitchen!
