Donate today to help us achieve even more
Do you want to support Circomedia as we strive to make circus and physical theatre something that everyone can experience, and push the boundaries of circus training and performance?
Your gift today can support our work with young people, emerging artists, creatives, our communities, and many others.
As you may know, Circomedia is a registered charity (1056852) with a small core team and limited resources. Like many small arts charities, we have been significantly impacted by increasing costs, reductions in funding and the ongoing cost of living crisis.
We are asking for your support to ensure that we are still here for another 30 years and beyond. Please consider donating if you can. Thank you.

Support Circomedia’s Crowdfunder
Help make our home at St. Paul’s Church fit for a circus-filled future.
Can you help us raise £10,000 to make Circomedia warmer, more sustainable, and fit for an exciting future?
For more than 21 years, Circomedia’s home at St. Paul’s Church has been a place where people of all ages have discovered confidence, creativity and extraordinary physical skills through circus. Every day, hundreds of children, young people, students, and professional artists come through our doors to train, rehearse and perform.
But now we need your help to keep those doors open.
Every winter, keeping our historic building warm enough for safe training and performance becomes more difficult.
Circus needs heat – for warm muscles, flexible joints and comfortable training conditions. Our students, teachers, and professional artists need a space where they can train and perform safely. But our beautiful historic building with its many lovable quirks is expensive and difficult to heat. It is draughty, poorly insulated, and relies on a 30-year-old heating system that has reached the end of its life and can no longer be repaired.
That’s why we need to raise £10,000 before the colder months arrive.
Please visit our Crowdfunder to find out more and donate today.
