A circus project can have many benefits for individuals, groups and communities. From building confidence, teamwork, physical co-ordination and fitness to giving a positive outlet for creativity and community celebration.

We work with groups to devise projects targeting specific needs. These projects are a minimum of 8 weeks.

We work with our partners to secure funding for these programmes up to 12 months in advance.

”I didn’t think I could do it but I did.” – Participant, YWI

”It felt safe and inclusive. The facilitators were great at bringing everyone in to the activities and checking in with the ones who took small breaks, and keeping the chattier ones engaged without giving out to them!”
– Parent, A-Team Youth Club

”I was surprised at how willing everyone was to take part and try to learn the tricks and I’ve never heard them laugh so much. There were 2 boys in particular who can find it hard to stay engaged and they didn’t stop participating for the whole session.”

”I loved it and would like to do MORE!”

2025 will see us maintain and expand these relationships, with projects scheduled with Meitheal-21, St. Anne’s SEN in Roscrea, Portumna Community College TY Class, and the A-Team.

2024 saw us return to the A-Team for another project, building on the success and popularity of 2023. We also ran a pilot project with First Steps early years project, and following a taster session during our Summer Camp, went on to run a full project with Meitheal-21, a group within Down Syndrome Ireland-Tipperary Branch.

In 2023, we continued this work from 2022 and ran projects with the A-Team Youth Club, Nenagh (supporting Teens with Autism) and the YouBYou Groups in Roscrea. We also delivered training for the Tipperary Youth Arts
Hub, on using circus and other art forms in a Youth Work context. It looked at the different roles, relationships, and interactions between the artist and the youth worker.

In 2022 we worked with groups from Youth Work Ireland, Creative Schools, Foroige, NTDC and Early Years Childcare Settings.
