Salsa for Charity has been set up to promote and hold Salsa and other latin events with the aim of raising funds for charity.

The idea is to use a great hobby and pastime to help generate some funds for charities and causes that need support and recognition whilst having fun in the process. I work to bring together the local teachers and put on a day of dance. Everyone donates their time and energy for the day to give a bit back and do some good.

The first event was held in 2007 after I lost my dad to cancer. The main charity I support is Macmillian Cancer Support but other charities are supported.

So a day of doing what you like doing whilst knowing that you are also contributing to the 'giving something back' to society as well.
