We bring young people facing all kinds of challenges together to learn circus skills in a supportive, fun environment and we've been doing this for almost 30 years. They become more confident and resilient, make new friends, achieve new things and celebrate one another's successes! In Circus Eruption nobody can say 'I can't do it'! This is replaced by 'I can't do it YET' (or the totally achievable 'I can't do it like that', or the less often heard 'I don't want to do it'!). If there's a will, we will work with young people and together find a way, so that everyone can enjoy their achievements. Our **BIG NEWS** of 2019 is that we are finally buying our own building! Right now we are in the former ToysRUs in Parc Tawe but look forward to moving into our permanent home later in the year.
Why the community needs usWe want the people who do circus with us to have great fun learning new skills, and supporting others to do the same! Bringing this supportive environment to life requires a large room... and after almost 30 years of using hired or leased spaces, in the spring of 2019 we are buying a new place. We hope that our moving into the former St Luke's Church in Cwmbwrla later in 2019 will enable Circus Eruption to have even greater positive social impact. We'd love you to help us do that.
Our impact on the communityVolunteers needed to support children and young people as they learn circus skills. A flexible and positive approach is crucial - circus skills or experience are not essential! We are also looking for more volunteers for our new building and garden.
