There are two brilliant organisations that, in very different ways, help create opportunities for children: Circus Starr and The Book Bus.
Circus Starr brings the magic of live performance to children and families who may otherwise find it difficult to experience it. Its inclusive shows are designed so that everyone can enjoy the excitement, silliness and sheer joy of the circus.


The Book Bus focuses on another kind of opportunity: opening up the world that comes from reading. By bringing books and literacy support to children and communities, it helps more young people discover the pleasure and possibilities that reading can bring.
The two organisations do very different things, but we think there’s a lovely connection between them and we’re delighted to play a small part in helping them create extraordinary moments.
