Wayfinder Woman is a charity which supports women in Eastbourne and the surrounding areas to ‘find a way forward in challenging times’.

WayfinderWoman states that ‘through regaining confidence, learning new skills and building community through groups and workshops, WayfinderWoman seeks to promote positive change driven by the individual themselves and supported by local women’.

Laura, guided by professionals, will dance her way through a variety of styles and music throughout the day.

Laura, who is the founder of the charity, said: “Every woman who walks through our hub is looking for confidence, support and a safe space to rebuild. We offer free workshops, coaching and guidance, but we can only do this with your help.

“That’s why our danceathon in May is so important. When you donate, you’re not just supporting me, you’re helping change someone’s life.

“Your support helps a woman find her confidence again, helps someone feel less alone, and helps create real, lasting change.”

People can get involved by joining in, in person or virtually, donating to secure a song choice, sponsoring part of the event, or donating through this page to the overall cause.
