Voluntary Action South West Surrey

Established in 1995, Dance Woking is an innovative dance organisation which provides high quality opportunities to watch perform and take part in dance, providing new experiences that inspire artists, audiences, participants and communities. Dance Woking champions and celebrates dance as a socially and culturally relevant force through an annual programme of events that resonate with our audiences. Dance Woking is an outstanding contributor to the arts, culture and sport in Woking and the SE of England, with a regional and national reputation in its support and development of dance.

Dance Woking presents three seasons of dance every year featuring national, regional and local artists, bespoke commissions and premieres of new dance in Spring, Summer and Winter.  Dance Woking provides local people with opportunities to engage in creative learning and participation projects. 

As with any club the members, the volunteers, the coaches and managers make it the club that it is.  

The junior side of the club is now three years old and we hope to continue to build on this yet again.  We have 70 juniors registered this year which is wonderful.  We have registered 22 under 7's which means we will be able to enter at least two teams into a league next season.  We also now have an under 9 team in the South Surrey league and two under 8 teams in the North East Hants Youth League. The aim for the juniors is to build on numbers and enter more teams.

We are always keen to hear from people who would like to get involved and be part of an energetic fun team working with juniors on Saturday mornings.  This is another aim of the club, to build on our coach base and help them to manage teams should they wish to do so.

To provide recreational and competitive sailing for people with a disability or long term illness.

The Medical Cadet Training Corps provides an environment where young people can learn, practice, focus, enjoy, feel safe and develop leadership skills in the following subjects, Military knowledge of the field gun, Physical fitness, social skills and extensive first aid training, we are also keen on teaching cadets ethical decision making and providing help to the community. The MCTC is able to reach at-risk young people and offer much needed care and support. For these aspirations to become reality however, it is essential that the MCTC is seen to be firmly rooted within the life of the wider community, and supported by all organisations, businesses, charities, schools, the local authority and anyone that is there to support children in our community, and that wherever possible, young people are provided with the opportunity to participate in the life of that community. Through the programmes, activities and ethos of the MCTC, the officers and instructors guide and support young people and act as mentors and role models in their personal, social and physical development. The programmes that the MCTC provides will create opportunity for the young people to develop into mature and responsible adults who will play an important role within their communities and wider society.
