Circus Eruption

Registered charity number: 1063928
We're an inclusion charity, building people's confidence, resilience and connection through long term circus workshops.

What our donation will help fund

We'll likely use this for crucial core costs - the background elements like insurance, utilities, core salary etc. These are the engine which enables our inter-related projects to run at all.

We actively include those who often face barriers to joining in elsewhere, supporting those who might experience exclusion because of disability, care experience, being young carers, living with poverty, identifying as LGBTQI+, being from a refugee/asylum seeker background.

Everyone has fun in a supportive environment; we're an inclusion charity and not a circus school, but we want everyone's experience to be that they 'just' have fun with their peers!

We're bowled over to have received this grant! We use circus workshops so people can develop confidence, make friends and have fun, with a focus on ensuring that those who face barriers to inclusion elsewhere are an integral part of Circus Eruption. This means flexible support, a range of 'ways in', no ineligibility, very long term opportunities to engage - and loads of fun! This fantastic 'pay it forward' grant has been such a boost organisationally as well as supporting us to keep on creating inclusive circus fun for everyone!
