A SOCIAL enterprise company that uses circus skills to improve youth welfare has secured £25,000 of funding in Firstport’s latest Build It Award.

Kat Borrowdale, founder of Think Circus CIC, was one of four social entrepreneurs to secure a share of £100,000. The Build It awards are part of the Scottish Government’s Social Entrepreneurs Fund.

Think Circus CIC works with children who live in areas listed in the bottom 10% of the Index of Multiple Deprivation and aims to build circus groups to improve young people’s mental and physical health.
