What it's all about

I want to throw a Tea Dance for the elderly people of Loughborough and the surrounding villages. I can use the Swing Band from the University and the Town Mayor has agreed to come along, and he will draw the raffle for us. I want to have tea and cakes and make it a really nice afternoon for everyone.

What's needed to make it a reality

Some money so I can send out invitations, organise a minibus, decorate the room and get some refreshments for the afternoon.

Because you are a student at Loughborough University you can access up to £750 to turn your idea into a reality. Loughborough University is one of 15 Universities who are taking part in the scheme where you can access funding, training and support from your Junction49 staff member ( Carolyn ) to help you get your project up and running. She'll be in touch with you soon to start helping you develop your project.

Someone else at Loughborough uni also had the idea of a tea dance but it was a Rock'n'Roll Tea Dance ! Maybe you could get together to share ideas, contacts and experiences....
