The Circus Project Northants brings Circus joy to care experienced young people!
46% of care leavers had been identified as having a mental health concern. Of those, 65% were receiving no service and just 9% were on a waiting list for NHS support.
Promoting Social Circus as a Joyful Journey to Mental Wellness: By embracing the principles of social circus, we provide young people with a playful and creative outlet that fosters emotional healing, resilience and physical fitness, making it an effective approach to enhancing mental wellbeing.
Volunteers in Action
Hear about Chris' Transformative Experience
Circus Project Northants was the best thing I ever did with my life. I wanted to get a real circus tour experience and thought of it as my circus school. What I got out of it was so much more than I ever expected. I gained self-confidence, made friends who made me a better person whether they realized it or not, and did work that was profoundly more meaningful than I ever knew it could be. Humanitarian work opened my eyes and my heart to the world, its citizens, and its children. Spreading kindness and learning to be more kind was the best lesson.
I have taken those lessons home with me and used them to keep spreading Circus Project Northants’ mission to the citizens of the USA. We need kindness in this world more than ever.
