Celebrate 8 years of The Dad Disco! Join us for a night of soul, disco, and funk as we raise essential funds for Weldmar Hospice, supporting their incredible care for Dorset’s community.
The Dad Disco was born 8 years ago to raise money for the Weldmar Hospice, a facility in Dorset which provides faultless end of life care and support for people with life limiting illnesses. The amazing staff there cared for both my dad and then step dad in their final days, and after dad passed, we decided to throw a party instead of a funeral! Raising money for the hospice which so desperately needs it.
Only 17% of the Weldmars funds are provided by the NHS, which leaves them needing to raise an incredible £27,500 per day to be able to provide the services that they do. This percentage has decreased by 8% in the last 8 years. They raise the other 83% of their funds through their 24 charity shops across Dorset and with the help of their community, us!
Over the years we have raised around £6000 through donations on the door and online. It's a great way to raise money for such a worthy cause whilst simultaneously having a good knees up. The first one went so well we decided to do it again, and again, and again….
We have had a host of DJs grace the party since it started playing everything from funk, soul, disco, hiphop, latin, afrobeat and house music, and the big London show is no exception! We’ve got a mob of experienced selectors plus a few very special guests to keep you moving.
