Hi, I’m Jill
the founding director of Holistic Circus Therapy and CircusAid, a social enterprise that provides circus as an educational and therapeutic tool for people with learning differences, special needs and socio-political challenges.
CircusAid has created an online school for two main purposes.
One, is trying to help ameliorate the negative impacts associated with restricted opportunities for peer to peer interaction as result of COVID-19 social isolation measures.
The other purpose is continuing to support the marginalized and under resourced communities and displaced persons we work with by providing free educational and therapeutic services. Find out more in our currently featured acro balance and poi courses
