Hi! My name is Nikki, on the team we have Jas, Pippa, Enya, Kirsty and Syliva! We work together to run weekly classes, holiday clubs, Masterclasses and community outreach projects, using circus as means of building lifelong bonds of friendship and family.
We belive what we do is important, particularly our Young Performers Project, where we provide FREE training for young people, to break down socioeconomic barriers. They get regular classes and workshops in various circus skills, build confidence, tenacity, social skills, have a creative outlet and get to perform at lots of exciting community events and local festivals! Everything they learn with us has a broader reach onto their daily lives, with many telling us how they finally have a trusted friendship group now that are part of the project, where they didntnhave this before. Many struggle at school, and in social situations so we aim to create a safe space where they can be their glorious unapologetic selves and thrive!
Prior to today we have been funded by the arts Council, and while we are in the process of writing another bid, we need a little help to keep the ball rolling! The money raised with this crowdfunding page will help pay for their training space, teachers, costumes and food on event days. We are currently working towards the Sleaford Riverlight Festival (21st June) and in order to achieve our goal we need about £1000 to cover all bases! In return for your kind donations we would love to invite you to watch the kids at the festival, meet the team, and take part in a free workshop! If that's not up your street and but you'd still like to donate you will get special mentions on our website with a huge thank you for your support! Anything you can spare to help us keep the kids going is hugely appreciated! Thank you in advance!
