The Dancing With Dom Foundation - Suicide Prevention

Who is Dom? and why are we dancing with him?

Hello, my name is Tanya and I am the founder of 'Dancing With Dom'. Dom is my brother and earlier this year he felt he had no other option but to end his life.

Dom was living in Thailand and fighting a battle with his mental health that none of his friends or family truly understood the scale of.

In April 2023 Dominic sent a voice recording to myself and a couple of his friends explaining that he could no longer carry on. Dominic was classed as missing for a few weeks until the police in Thailand found him.

Dominic loved his music and was an awesome DJ. He loved the festival scene and created and ran hundreds of raves and parties, all across the globe. He was incredible at creating light shows and putting on epic events for people to come together and dance the night, often many days, away enjoying the power of music.

In his last recorded message he started to say that perhaps the people that knew and loved him might have a dance for him but he cut what he was saying short, as if he believed that he didn't deserve to ask that of anyone.

'Dancing With Dom' has been set up to show him that he absolutely does deserve people to have a dance for him because he had a heart of gold and brought love and joy to so many people on this planet.

Mental Health Project

Before Dom ended his life I was about to launch a community project in my home town to help people with their mental health and wellbeing but I had to hit the pause button on it all.

Losing Dom has brought with it an intense clarity of my purpose for being gifted some time on this planet and that is to help as many people as I can to have good mental health and wellbeing. To Thrive.

Life is like a beautiful complex piece of music that we all deserve to dance our way through right to the end with love in our hearts for others and for ourselves along the way.

The Dancing with Dom Foundation

I want all humans on this planet to know that they are never alone and there is always hope and light and that they too will be able to dance once again. I am dedicating the rest of my life to this cause.

The Dancing with Dom Foundation is a community Enterprise designed to give grants to both individuals who have a need for some support to improve their mental health, whatever that may be. As well as giving grants to groups and projects doing work around mental health and suicide awareness and prevention.

Amidst a global mental health crisis and a cost of living crisis this financial support is vital to help fill the gap in much needed services and provisions for those in need.

Sadly it's too late for my brother to dance again on this planet but I hope he see's us spreading the love and joy he brought to so many in his name and memory and that together we can help others see themselves dancing their own dance again.
