## Giving back isn't a side project. It's part of why Jodi Dancers exists.
When Pritpal and Ravneet started Jodi Dancers in 2018, they had two aims. Keep Punjabi culture alive, and give something back to the community that shaped them. Within days of launching, they were dancing with patients at Compton Hospice. The same idea has run through everything since, from collecting gifts for Birmingham Children's Hospital and the Sikh Toy Appeal to SEND workshops and sessions in care homes.
