We wanted to make a difference so that’s why we started Circus Starr. Circus Starr, a not for profit community interest company (CIC), is an all human touring circus. We currently perform in 75 towns across the UK each year. In each town we aim to make a lasting impact through engaging with local businesses and generating income via sponsorships and donations. This enables us to run our unique Donated Ticket Programme, whereby tickets are given completely free of charge to children’s charities and community groups enabling underprivileged children and children with disabilities to enjoy a memorable day at the circus. Circus Starr has already given over 1 million children this opportunity through our Donated Ticket Programme and with the committed help from local interest groups, authorities, media and businesses throughout the UK, we continue to raise this figure. In 2012 Circus Starr donated £1.376m worth of tickets to UK communities. Any surplus we make from the shows is donated to our local charity partners. We continue to work with over 70 local charities in the UK each year, raising their profile within the communities in which they operate. Over the last eleven years we have raised over £900,000 for local charities!!
Why have we started a blog?
We love to share smiles, knowledge and news and a blog is the perfect opportunity to do that! Not only will we be writing about Circus Starr tour news and updates, but we will also be bringing you the best in recipes, crafts and other idea's for activities and fun with the family and children. We will also be utilising the blog as an area to celebrate other good causes and charities, discussing other issues close to our hearts. Basically, we're going to incorporate a little bit of everything!
