INCLUSIVE ENTERTAINMENT WITH CIRCUS STARR
We’re proud to support organisations that make a genuine difference in our communities. One such organisation is Circus Starr, a UK-based, not-for- profit company that creates inclusive circus performances specifically designed for disabled, disadvantaged, and vulnerable children and their families.
Unlike traditional circus events, Circus Starr’s shows are carefully adapted to suit children with additional needs. Sensory considerations, accessible venues, and inclusive features such as British Sign Language interpretation help ensure that every child can enjoy the experience without fear of judgement or exclusion.

As a sponsor, SENAD’s support helped provide free tickets to families who may otherwise be unable to access live entertainment. One of the children who attended was Freya, a young girl with additional sensory needs. Circus Starr offered Freya a safe space where she could relax and express herself, and the impact lasted well beyond the performance, with Freya continuing to recreate the experience at home through dance and circus-inspired play. Circus Starr relies on the generosity of businesses to continue offering free, inclusive experiences to children across the UK, and we’re pleased to play a part in that mission.

Busy and loud environments can be overwhelming for her, so we have to plan carefully when we go out - choosing quieter times and places.
