<div><strong>Urgent: 4 Weeks to Save </strong><a href="https://circus-strong.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Circus Strong</strong></a> <strong> : A Safe Haven for Youth &amp; LGBTQ+ in the Peak District</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Time is Running Out</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have until the end of October to raise the funds needed to keep our doors open. Without your immediate help, Circus Strong may have to close forever, leaving our community without this vital safe space.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Mission is at Risk</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Imagine a world where every child and LGBTQ+ individual has a place to belong, to grow, and to shine. That's what Circus Strong provides in the isolated Peak District. But now, we face a heartbreaking reality: without your help, we may have to close our doors forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Circus Strong Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>We're more than just circus classes – we're a <strong>lifeline</strong> for youth and LGBTQ+ individuals.
</li>
<li>Our judgment-free zone allows kids to build confidence through aerial circus skills.
</li>
<li>For many, our weekly classes are the highlight they eagerly anticipate.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Challenge We Face</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rising costs and our commitment to affordability have put us in a difficult position. We refuse to raise prices because we believe everyone deserves access to this transformative experience, regardless of their financial situation.

<div><strong>The Heart of Circus Strong</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Founded by Holly Hutchinson and Natalia Winnicka in 2020, Circus Strong began as a pandemic response, offering free online fitness classes. We both work full time but committing all of our spare time (and our hearts and souls) into running the studio. We've grown from teaching in parks to having our own dedicated space, all while maintaining our core values.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, we reinvest every penny into improving our facilities and expanding our reach.
