Merton Council’s All Saints Centre has launched a new DJ skills project for people with learning disabilities to help them run their own night club called ‘Funky Feet’.

Eight people with learning disabilities took part in the DJ skills project at the centre in Wimbledon where Nick Carling from fresh track DJ workshops taught them how to use professional equipment and put on a DJ set.

Making sure their DJ skills are put to good use, the team at All Saints have relaunched Funky Feet night club which gives people with a learning disability a chance to have a dance and socialise with their friends. Over 100 people attended the first Funky Feet nightclub event earlier this year at Tooting and Mitcham KNK Stadium with further nights being planned over the summer.

I’d like to congratulate everyone who took part in the DJ skills workshop and put on a great night at the Funky Feet nightclub.”
