The Community Admission Scheme
The scheme started in 2001, offering free seats to differently-abled or disadvantaged children in conjunction with Local Authorities and the local Mayor. Hundreds of children have benefitted from the scheme. We welcome enquiries from Local Authorities who would like to participate in this wonderful project.

| Schools & Educational Visits
An important part of our work is to provide free visits to schools as Zippos Circus travels. Our Clowns and other performers offer to take school assemblies to explain the traditions of circus, entertain or demonstrate circus skills as appropriate. As well as encouraging the increasing interest in learning circus skills, our visits are often a first introduction to the magic of the circus. Tel: 07050 267101 |

Zippos Circus: supporting the International League for the Protection of Horses In the United Kingdom the International League for the Protection of Horses runs 5 farms dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of horses with over 300 equines in care at any one time. |
| Full-time ILPH Field Officers, nearly all ex-mounted policemen, investigate cases of cruelty and neglect, inspect markets and ports and check the nearly 2000 rehabilitated horses and ponies which have been re-homed through the ILPH loan scheme. Working in the developing world, the ILPH runs educational and training courses in equine management, saddlery, harness making, farriery, veterinary care and nutrition to combat the major causes of equine suffering and help the owners to help themselves. The focus is on providing education, as knowledge lives on after your departure, and using locally available materials to establish sustainable and permanent solutions to problems.

Zippos Circus would like to recognise those who have helped us provide free performances for thousands of people during the past twenty-two years. These include the Lions Club, the Variety Club of Great Britain, the London Taxi Drivers Association, Capital Radio and many, many individuals, volunteers and helpers.
Differently-abled and underprivileged persons often have little or no opportunity to see live entertainment, and we are profoundly grateful to all those who have given time and effort to help us achieve this. |
