On a regular basis, we donate to Circus Starr. A circus designed specifically for families of additional needs kids, or families in difficult circumstances.
This offers these families a little escape from the difficulties of day to day life, offers a place where the children can simply be themselves, and the parents can watch as their kids have a place to freely express themselves.
Just look at this extract from their website:
“We believe in a world where anything is possible. We understand that attending mainstream events can be difficult for children with additional needs or families in difficult circumstances which is why we’ve created a tut-free zone; a show in which shouting out, dancing and jumping up and down are expected. At our circus, everyone is absolutely encouraged to let go of their worries, get involved, and be themselves.” – Circus Starr.
What a breath-taking group of people!
