About us

PWB teaches performing arts and circus skills to children and young adults, particularly those who have had a challenging start in life. This takes place nationally and internationally on projects around the world in order to contribute to them gaining a more positive outlook and a better quality of life, physically, socially and mentally. This is based on a growing body of research expounding the benefits of learning circus skills and putting on performances.

We believe that to make lasting change in the lives of young people, you have to do more than just make sure they have the basics. Through teaching performing arts skills, we help orphans and vulnerable children to build confidence, become empowered, learn teamworking skills and overcome social barriers. At the same time they learn a great new lifetime hobby, or even a new profession, and they have some fun whilst doing it, all leading to a more general positive outlook and a better quality of life.
