It all began in December 1998, with a breath and a heartbeat

Two Rhythms began in the late 1990s when Dilys Price OBE founded the charity, previously known as Touch Trust. Dilys was a dancer, educator, and model; later, she was renowned as the world’s oldest skydiver. Dilys completed 1,139 solo skydives, including one aged 81 in 2013.

…the most disabled children and adults are isolated from the good things in life. I’d like to have taken them on a skydive, but I realised that probably wasn’t going to pass health and safety!

Founder of Two Rhythms

So Dilys created ‘the next best thing to a skydive’, a programme of music, movement, light and colour. This programme, now called Two Rhythms, has been utilised with thousands of guests across the UK.

Celebrating 25 years

In December 2023, Two Rhythms began celebrating the 25th anniversary with a new name, and a new brand that represents all our guests.

1932 – 2020

Dilys created the Touch Trust method in 1996, founded the company in 1998 before it became a charity in 200.

She was a truly inspirational woman; her vision and drive enabled many people with complex needs to enjoy and be part of creative activities and projects. Sharing our achievements with the world was always important to Dilys. She took up parachuting in 1986 and carried out more than 1,130 solo jumps around the globe, with her parachute jumps raising thousands of pounds for the various charities she supported.

Dilys was awarded an OBE for her services to people with special needs in 2003. She was honoured for her work at the Pride of Britain awards in 2017, and in 2018 she was included by Wales’ Women’s Equality Network among 50 living women who have influenced Welsh life. She was made an honorary fellow at University of Wales Trinity Saint David in July 2018 and also Cardiff Metropolitan University.
