Our story

 Kidz R Us was established in 2002 when Diane Dann, one of our founders, was approached by a few children requesting her to organise dance classes and help them develop their skills in stage performances. Diane agreed and the classes began with only three children. It was not later than a couple of months that the membership sprung from 3 to 120. The organisation expanded and went on to add other aspects of performances such as technical theatre. 

We moved to St. James Community Centre shortly, however we knew we would require a bigger premises to accommodate the growing number of children and the numerous costumes and props. In 2006, we bought the former Park Place Chapel in Georgetown, Tredegar to accommodate the growing strength. Though it was priced at £50,000, we could roughly arrange £10,000 from our community centre. Diane and Gary Dann offered their home on mortgage to secure a loan of £40,000. There was no looking back after this procurement; Kidz R Us kept on adding to its family that continues to grow even today!

Kidz R Us is a non-profit, self-funding social community enterprise, which teaches performing arts (primarily, street dancing, drama and singing) to the children of Tredegar and the surrounding areas in South East Wales. We host activities for more than 500 disadvantaged children every week. For more information, get in touch with us today!

The initial phase of development

The chapel we bought was in a dilapidated condition. The cement was falling off the walls and the roof was damaged, letting water in. We are thankful to those parents and staff members who took time in the evenings and helped in renovating the building. They knocked out the old grouting and repointed the walls too. In addition to this, we also secured capital grants in recognition to the excellent activities we provided to the community!
 It would be wrong to say that we are not grant funded. We have had grants in the past to help renovate our building. Currently, the regular expenses are over £5,000 a month with utility bills, the mortgage, and public liability insurance being the biggest costs. The funds generated from Venue 1 are also used to sustain Kidz R Us.

Where do we stand now?

Our growth has remained constant and we now have 500 children per week using our premises. We offer a range of recreational and fun activities to our children inside our premises. Some of our students who are over 12 years of age are trained to teach other students, thereby honing their own skills as well. 

We are proud to say that we are one of the seven centres in Wales, who have won the prestigious Sports Leaders Teaching Certificate.

What do we do and offer?

We teach all the skills needed for an all-round performance. Our children have performed all over the country and abroad. We also run numerous social clubs. We train our own teachers; most of whom went to stage schools or universities to study further within the teaching profession or performing arts. We support the government by training people who are unemployed, teaching them skills and instilling in them the confidence to re-enter employment.
