Ballet Without Borders is a not-for-profit organisation that brings ballet education and ballet pathways to children who would otherwise not be able to access this art form. We look at ballet education as part of the bigger picture, a pathway to experiencing art and music as well as learning about discipline, hard work, dedication and team work - all key skills for life. But more importantly, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to try ballet, to experience variety in life, to grow and learn regardless of their financial or social status.

Our vision is a world where people and organisations achieve their full potential. Pioneera understands individual well being in real time, so organisations can easily measure and improve the wellbeing and productivity of all their people. Were on a mission to be the global leader in measuring and improving workplace wellbeing and productivity, in real time, at scale. We are a multi award-winning tech startup using a world-first approach combining AI and psychology to detect and mitigate lost wellbeing and productivity. Our AI bot - Coach Indie - provides real time, useful tips in a private and responsible way. Pioneera has also made a pledge to build inclusive teams together with Project F.
