Promoting wellbeing through circus

Circus of Positivity

Circus of Positivity CIC is a not-for-profit group based in Newport, South Wales. We aim to promote physical and mental wellbeing in our local community through the provision of juggling and ground-based circus activities.

Many of our directors and volunteers have personal experience of the huge impact circus can have on wellbeing. We have a strong focus on wellbeing and creative expression and provide opportunities for workshop and event attendees to learn circus skills in a relaxed social setting, where every achievement, big or small, is celebrated, and mistakes and setbacks are regarded as nothing but opportunities to learn and support one another.

What our workshops participants say about Circus of Positivity

"This was great fun. I love what you do for the local community. It's always great that parents and carers can take part too as we get a bit of the fun too."

"A brilliant 2 hours trying something new and meeting many people. It has done my wellbeing no end of good through laughter."
