Thank you very much, to Awakened Bellydance Northumberland, who fundraised on International Womens day and chose NDAS to be the recipient! "Thankyou to the 6 wonderful women who joined me at my Charity event for International Women's Day on the 8th of march 2020. It was wonderful to see them push their boundaries and try something new. Christie Harley of the Yoga Den donated the space for our event and we raised £85 pounds which the group wanted to go to a local group supporting victims of domestic abuse. We will be donating to Northumberland Domestic Abuse Services," Awakened Bellydance Northumberland
