Jacqui Taylor Memorial Fund
About
Jacqui Taylor
The Jacqui Taylor Memorial Fund was set up to support young dancers at Nicky Jenks School of Dance with extra classes and auditions.
The Jacqui Taylor Memorial fund was founded by Ali Porter and some of Jacqui’s friends to remember and celebrate Jacqui’s life.
Jacqui was one of our teachers. A vibrant 31 year old; Jacqui was an amazing person who touched so many people’s lives. She did a lot for the public for many years and she was a wonderful person. She fought as hard as she could against a rare form of cancer and tried everything possible to stay with us, but she lost her battle on 9th April 2010.
In order to carry on the memory of Jacqui, a memorial fund was set up to support young dancers at Nicky Jenks School of dance with extra classes and auditions. Jacqui’s family are actively involved in the Memorial Fund and the award process.

Over recent years the Jacqui Taylor Memorial fund has provided much needed financial assistance to support my children attending the Morea Associates Programme, RAD Project B, and dance exams. I am very grateful for the committees prompt reply to communications and support.
The Jaqui Taylor Memorial Fund has allowed me to have all of the opportunities and experiences I have had. Without it I wouldn’t be the dancer I am now.
We are very grateful to the JTM fund for the assistance they have afforded our children over the years from assistance with audition fees for RBS Junior Associates, Swindon Contemporary Programme (CAT) and crucially enabled the children to continue accessing lessons during covid when I lost the vast majority of my income.
