Sweet Circus is a non-profit organisation based in Eastbourne. We believe passionately that circus is for Every Body and strive to be as inclusive as possible. Our mission is to improve the physical, mental and social health of the community through engagement in circus and play.We undertook an independent impact review to assess our impact on the community.It showed we are successful in our aims with 86% of participants stating that they made friends at Sweet Circus, 83% believing they had become more confident and 92% saying they are more physically active since joining us.93% of our current participants come from low-income households, 38% have long-term health or mental health conditions, and 36% have a disability or learning difference.In partnership with the Devonshire West Big Local we delivered circus play in the park 3 days a week throughout the summer reaching new beneficiaries and our HAF provision, funded by East Sussex County Council remains consistently oversubscribed.We are currently running 6 weekly sessions for adults, 6 weekly sessions for children and young people and a monthly SEND youth group. Thanks to funding from Youth UK and the Pears foundation we have been able to recruit a youth counsellor to attend our youth circus and support session which is having an impact on the mental health of these participants.We still desperately need further funding in order to establish a venue or base of our own and develop other services such as teacher training to other organisations and online access to our services.
Stake holders include participants and their families, other local community groups, and the community at large. 93% of our current participants come from low-income households, 38% have long-term health or mental health conditions, and 36% have a disability or learning difference.In addition to an open door policy for informal feedback and regular developmental discussion with stake holders we commissioned an independent impact study which was very positive. The report can be found on our website.
No renumeration has been received for the duties of directing the company, however some of our directors are also instructors and they are paid as such (often at discounted rates!).
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
