This year, the Make a Difference Foundation is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Lolly Jar Circus.

The Make a Difference Foundation is a dedicated group of passionate individuals whose mission is to support and uplift those in need through various community initiatives and events.
By utilising their influence and network, they champion and support groups with their time, donations, and skills.
The Foundation is driven by a profound sense of ‘giving back’ to those who need help, in whichever form, as part of their commitment to supporting impactful community projects.

“Bug Off”- in the news
In 2021 Carclew funded another performance, “Bug Off”, which was our participants’ way of expressing how they felt about Covid-19. The back-story was featured nationally on ABC NEWS. You can read the article here, and watch the TV news story here. Or see our beautiful documentary below.

Be Amazing - Behind the Scenes
In 2019 Lolly Jar Circus performed its first Carclew-funded arts performance “Be Amazing (and don’t eat cheese).
Like everything at Lolly Jar Circus, performing was open to all participants, with skills and the story line built around their needs.
The story was about Rebecca, a teenage girl who just wanted somewhere to belong. She tried changing her hair, her clothes and the way she acted, but she still couldn’t seem to fit in. The audience joined Rebecca on her journey searching for her tribe.
“Be Amazing (and don’t eat cheese) was an entertaining show for all ages that showcased a year of building team spirit and circus skills and was a lot of fun,” said Judy Bowden, CEO of Lolly Jar Circus.
“This was our premiere gala performance and took our organisation to a new level.”
Watch how it all came together.
