Time to Shine CIC

We are so excited to see The Wellbeing Project in full swing! Delivered by Time to Shine North East CIC, this entire programme is proudly funded by the National Lottery Awards for All, which means every single activity is completely free for everyone who attends. We are currently welcoming young people aged 7–25 and their families into our weekly dance, fitness, and mindfulness sessions across Sunderland, but we still have plenty of room for more friendly faces. Whether you want to boost your confidence, try out some movement, or just connect with others in the community, our doors are wide open to new joiners so please feel free to jump right in and join the fun!

As 2025 comes to a close, our team at Time to Shine CIC wants to wish our dancers, families, and supporters a joyful and sparkling holiday season!

Whether you’re practicing your steps at home, enjoying time with loved ones, or just taking a well-earned break, we hope your holidays are full of music, laughter, and movement.

We can’t wait to dance into 2026 with you, bringing new classes, workshops, and lots of opportunities to shine even brighter in the new year!

The energy in our studios has been incredible! Our weekly Shine Through Dance sessions have already become a real highlight, with children of all abilities moving, laughing, and growing stronger together.

From the joy on faces to the friendships forming, we are seeing exactly why inclusive spaces matter. This project is helping us build confidence, connection, and community week by week.

A huge thank you to Sport England for helping us keep our doors open and continue supporting young people right here in Sunderland.

Our sessions are running all the way up to 20th of December and we will return on 5th of January 2026. Get involved and contact us!

Our Young People’s Wellbeing Project will be coming to a close soon, and what a journey it has been. Thanks to funding from Awards for All, we’ve been able to support young people in our community to explore new skills, focus on their wellbeing, and engage with positive opportunities.

We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who has taken part, supported our sessions, and helped make this project such a success. Your energy, creativity, and commitment have made a real difference.

Although this phase of the project is ending, we remain dedicated to supporting young people and will continue to look for ways to bring meaningful opportunities and wellbeing support to our community.
