What it's all about
Provide a 5 week programme of a few hours each week, where a group of 10-15 young people can learn circus skills. Young people can be found either at local schools or youth groups (Bolton or Preston).
Week 1: Try different circus skills
Week 2: Choose a circus skill and practice
Week 3: Continue to practice skill
Week 4: Continue practice
Week 5: Perform for a group (preferably parents) to show off skills learnt
What's needed to make it a reality
An action plan and actions...I'm working on it!

Hope the research into your project is going well. Students at Derby did a similar project last year, which you can check out at: http://www.junction49.co.uk/idea/989/circus_workshops_for_children/
You could always get in contact with them to see whether they can offer you any words of wisdom or some helpful tips about how to set up your own workshop based on their own experiences.
It's great that you're already in touch with Sara your Volunteer Support Officer at UCLan, she 'll be able to help you access funds up to £750 to help turn your idea into reality!
