Discover the benefits that circus can bring to care home settings in Upswing’s Homemade Circus webinar. We're very excited to be hosting this online conversation as part of Creativity and Wellbeing Week 2024.

Over two years, our Homemade Circus project has brought accessible, tailored circus activities to care home residents across London and the South East. Working closely with Excelcare, Anchor and BUPA homes, we've witnessed first-hand the extraordinary impacts circus can have, from increasing mobility and social connections to simply bringing smiles and laughter.

But the real game-changer has been training care staff through hands-on sessions to become circus leaders themselves. We've also created accessible resources to share how you can run engaging, interactive circus sessions from start to finish. These resources are available online on Upswing's Homemade Circus Digital Toolkit.

Join us for an online conversation to hear about the physical, cognitive and emotional benefits that circus provides, and hear first-hand from Upswing artists and care home staff about the tangible impacts of this project in their care homes. You'll also get a sneak preview of the Homemade Circus Digital Toolkit.

Whether you're a care provider looking for meaningful activities, an artist/facilitator interested in working in care settings, or someone who supports older adults, this is a unique opportunity to discover the potential of circus activities in care settings

Join us and be inspired to create extraordinary, uplifting experiences with circus.
