Circability Trust

Circability Trust, an organisation that uses circus arts to strengthen wellbeing, build confidence and create a sense of belonging for people of all abilities.

The cash grant from Kinetic’s Moving Communities Fund will help Circability cover essential operating costs as the organisation works to deliver more social circus programmes from its regional hubs. This includes expanding outreach so more individuals, schools and community groups can take part.
