Fifteen twinkle-toed Strictly Brackley heroes have raised a remarkable £11,000 (and counting!) for Restore. These funds will make a massive difference, supporting local people on their mental health recovery journeys. A huge thank you to Joanne Banham for organising the wonderful event and to all the stars who stepped outside of their comfort zones donning sequins and sparkles.

Joanne says, “I always wanted to support a local mental health charity. For me, personally, I feel physical and mental health are linked and dance is a fantastic way to stimulate the mind and body together. It can have such a positive and powerful influence on people’s lives and really help those suffering with their mental health.”

Several hundred votes were counted and the Strictly glitterball winners announced… Congratulations to Mary and Duncan, the Matinee Winners, with their quick flicks and fast kicks, and to Kate and Ben, the Evening Winners, who dazzled with the rumba.
