About this grant
Our partnerships with public funders, trust and foundations is fundamental to offering life-changing experiences and opportunities to individuals, communities, audiences and artists in Wales, the UK and beyond. With their support and backing, we are able to create and tour world-class, innovative contemporary circus productions; develop and train the next generation of UK circus artists and professionals; and deliver our creative community programme, engaging and inspiring people of all ages [...] From delivering circus activities in schools and local parks, to providing much needed outdoor equipment, these grants help us reach many children, young people and people facing access barriers to arts engagement in our hyper-local community of East Cardiff.
