This End of Financial Year, we’re raising $35,000 to celebrate 35 years of Women’s Circus – and to fund the creative programs and opportunities that change lives.
We sat down with founding member Linda Wilson, who first walked through our doors in 1991 looking for a safe place to heal, and is back on stage this year for our 35th anniversary Big Show. As Linda puts it: “Women’s Circus, to me, is about a community of women and marginalised genders who are really supportive and caring of each other… and want to bring out the best in each other.”
Linda’s story is one of thousands. Born from a project supporting survivors of gendered violence, Women’s Circus has spent 35 years building something rare — a community where women and people of marginalised genders find strength, connection and joy through social circus.
But work like this doesn’t happen without support. Your tax-deductible donation helps bring our 35th anniversary Big Show to life, supports our skilled trainers, and keeps our spaces safe and welcoming for everyone who needs them.
And right now, your impact is doubled. Thanks to The Phil Taylor Foundation, every donation is matched dollar-for-dollar — so your gift goes twice as far.
Donate before 30 June and help keep our circus strong for generations to come.
From our whole community — thank you.
