Dance Workshop with people in purple and black tshirts

Moving Beyond Compliance

A pilot project delivered in partnership between NDCWales and Cartrefi Cymru to explore how movement can benefit the wellbeing of staff working in care settings.

Moving Beyond Compliance is a partnership project, developed by National Dance Company Wales and Cartrefi Cymru Cooperative Limited to explore how movement can benefit Cartrefi Cymru staff who support people with learning disabilities. It was designed to explore new ways to support their wellbeing and to also inspire a model that could, in future, benefit staff working in a range of care settings.  

Coming out of the Covid 19 pandemic, Cartrefi Cymru wanted to celebrate the amazing contribution of their staff during a uniquely challenging time for the care sector. The project addressed the physical and mental demands for people working in care giving roles and invited participating staff to have input into future related work. The workshops took place in Brecon in May 2022, was evaluated by National Activities Provider Association (NAPA). Funded by Arts Council of Wales.
