Two community dance initiatives have received funding from the Allied Vehicles Charitable Trust.

Legacy Dance Company has been granted £1,000 to buy essential equipment for their new studio premises and Partick Dancing Group received £300 towards transportation expenses for an upcoming group trip.

Co-founders of Legacy Dance Company Chloe Elliot and Hannah Johnstone will use the money to buy mirrors and dance flooring.

The group has run for two years offering dance education and a supportive community setting for children including those with autism and ADHD.

The team served children from Ruchill and Lambhill.

Ms Elliot said: "We would like to thank everyone involved at Allied Vehicles for giving us the opportunity to make our dreams come true.

"The funds awarded will allow us to purchase the proper materials needed to open our very own studio which will give our students a new and bigger place to call their second home.

“We can’t express enough how grateful we are that Allied Vehicles have appreciated the work that we are doing. From everyone involved at Legacy Dance Company, thank you."

Partick Dancing Group, which mainly consists of senior women, uses dance to lessen social isolation among members.

Many of these ladies live alone and depend on the group for social interaction.

Cathie Connelly, from Partick Dancing Group, said: "We are delighted to receive this award from Allied Vehicles,

“We will use it to go on a trip in July when our dance sessions are off, which will allow us to keep in touch with each other over the summer break. Thank you so much."

David Facenna, corporate culture director at Allied Vehicles Group, said: "At Allied Vehicles, we are passionate local community.

"We are happy to support both Legacy Dance Company and Partick Dancing Group.

"These groups do fantastic work in promoting activity and reducing isolation across generations. We’re happy we can help them extend their valuable services."
