Enriching communities with performance

 

 

"A blessing to Rochdale and it’s communities, the last few years have been the most difficult and Skylight's work is valued & needed more than ever within the Borough. "

 

– Mohammed ‘Shiri’ Sheraz,  Army of Kindness

"The youth groups loved taking parting and learning new skills"

 

– Rochdale Connections (RCT)

Inspiring the next generation

"She walked out filled with all the confidence she lost over lockdown. Skylight are amazing and I'm so grateful for everything they do."

Projects & Partnerships

As a small charity, Skylight Circus is reliant on project funding.  We recognise that our work can be life changing and we want to make a difference!

“At Skylight’s Circus School, pupils could experience tightwire, aerial swings and harness.  This equipment is extremely popular, the children experience exhilaration, excitement and different sensations from freedom of movement.  One child was very nervous about the swing and found it challenging to even lift his feet off the ground.  Week by week he built up his confidence until he swung through the air”

Martine Bradford Creative Director
