Joanne's first Strictly Brackley Town show launched in 2023. With the help of her dedicated team, they welcomed 14 heroes to the dance floor for the very first time and raised over £11,500 for charity.
Following such a successful debut, the second season saw 15 incredible heroes take on the challenge. With the guidance of their dance partners, the event grew even bigger, raising a staggering £20,000 for two amazing causes.
In 2025, we celebrated our third year with 18 inspiring heroes who brought joy, courage and sparkle to the dance floor. Together, they helped raise over £14,000 for Animals in Need Northamptonshire and The Chatty Café Scheme – an incredible achievement made possible by the support of our vibrant community.
We’ll be back in 2026 supporting two more incredible charities — and applications to join the next unforgettable journey will be Monday 30th June!

Local Charity
Katharine House Hospice
Katharine House Hospice provides specialist palliative care for adults with an incurable illness across north Oxfordshire and south Northamptonshire.
Hospice care is for anyone over the age of 18 years who has an advanced life-limiting illness. At Katharine House, the care is delivered by a multi-professional team who have specialised in this field and take a holistic approach, considering physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs.
We also recognise the importance of those close to our patients. Family and friends are affected too and they may have lots of concerns and questions that we can answer and support.
Without the support of the community, we couldn’t provide the physiotherapy or social work, the well-being relaxation classes, the specially made home cooked meals, the one-to-one social care, the bereavement support, the arts and crafts, the fun and laughter.
We couldn’t keep the heart of the hospice going without our wonderful network of supporters. We simply wouldn’t exist without the donations you give, the money you raise and the support you provide.
