Circus Starr is unique! We are the only UK touring circus to bring accessible and inclusive performance to everybody no matter what obstacles they may face. Put simply we bring fun to those who need it most. We started life in 1987 as a social enterprise and became a Community Interest Company in 2010. We are currently in the process of becoming a registered charity.

The Foundation seeks to improve health and well-being through inclusion and participation using sport as a catalyst. The activities delivered are designed to encourage participation and are developed to meet the needs of the local community
