Our Mission:
Love your body. Live your life.
“At Ldn Dares we believe no-one should be held back from achieving what they want out of life because they are worried about their body image or looks” - Artistic Director and Body Confidence Coach Ursula Joy.
We help people learn how to be confident in their own skin, learn self-compassion and nurture a positive body image through the use of drama and Dares.
Our programmes serve a vast audience including those suffering with their mental health, those who require support with increasing their self-esteem and confidence, and the LGBTQIA+ community to name but a few.
OUR IMPACT
creating community value.
Ldn Dares exemplifies South London’s Living Well Networks ethos to help people become more resilient by running activities that meet these three outcomes:
To recover and stay well
To make their own choices
Participate on an equal footing in daily life
