We did it!! 🎉 We are absolutely blown away! Tha We did it!! 🎉 We are absolutely blown away! Thanks to the generosity of 74 new and returning donors, we've raised $26,568 in our annual EOFY fundraising campaign 🥹🤩

We cannot thank you all enough - to everyone who donated, shared and talked about Women's Circus during this time. Private giving is a crucial element of our funding - with out these incredible donors we simply could not do the work we have been delivering and growing over the past 34 years ❤️

At a time when many are feeling isolated, oppressed and excluded we know our social circus programs and safe space offer a vital lifeline. And thanks to these generous donors, we will continue to be there for our community and thrive in our mission of uplifting and empowering marginalised genders ✨

THANK YOU!!

It's the final day of the financial year, which me It's the final day of the financial year, which means it's your last chance to donate to our annual fundraising campaign and claim your tax deduction ✨ ❤ 

We are blown away by the generosity of 50+ individuals over the past month - an inspiring mix of new, regular and returning donors. We're heading into our 35th year next year, and the support of our community we've felt throughout this campaign gives us so much hope and energy for the future. 

We really can't do this work without you. If you are in a position to do so, please consider donating to Women's Circus before midnight tonight (link in our bio), and know that your money will go directly to empowering and uplifting people who experience marginalisation, misogyny and discrimination under the patriarchy. ✨

Thank you, from the bottom of our circus-y hearts! 🥰

This morning’s Tiny Tots class had a special gue This morning’s Tiny Tots class had a special guest - Member for Fraser Daniel Mulino ✨ Our Board Chair Noni and Comms Manager Hanne were delighted to show him around the Drill Hall and talk about all the fantastic work Women’s Circus does for the local community. It was great to see him kick off his shoes and jump into the class, because what better way to understand social circus than on the training floor. He also got taught the end of class shakedown, a Women’s Circus tradition, by a group of very enthusiastic toddlers! 🥰

Thanks for taking the time to come down and see what we’re all about here at Women’s Circus ❤️
