Hampshire Writers’ Society

Move Momentum is an award-winning local charity based in Winchester, Hampshire that aims to make dance accessible to everyone. We provide inclusive and affordable dance classes for people who otherwise might not have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of dance. We focus on providing weekly classes tailored for older adults, people with disabilities (including dedicated classes for wheelchair users), people with long-term health conditions, and young people facing barriers to accessing dance. We also offer online dance education and work across Hampshire to provide inclusive dance classes to SEN schools, care homes and other charities and community groups.

We believe in breaking the mould. We’re here to challenge the mass-produced, the impersonal, and the disposable by championing independent makers, fostering creativity, and creating a real, local alternative to online and high-street retail. Our mission is to provide crafters with a space to sell their work without the barriers of traditional retail while ensuring customers can discover authentic, locally made goods and explore their own creativity through hands-on workshops. We curate a space where people can shop with confidence, knowing they are supporting real artisans and small businesses. We empower people of all ages and backgrounds to explore their creative potential, and offer a relaxed pressure-free shopping experience.
