Children in care across Warwickshire attend circus-themed Brothers and Sisters Day in Warwick

Part of Warwickshire County Council’s Brothers and Sisters programme to support looked after children, the event focused on helping siblings – particularly those who do not live together – have some fun and connect with one another.

While the main focus was on siblings, all children in care were invited.

The event featured a big top circus, alongside a wide range of attractions including face painting, a treat stall, games and a tombola.

Children also made their own juggling balls and took part in other activities such as: name the bunny, adopt a teddy, art and crafts, ping pong and bouncy castles.

There was also a circus show, with stilt walkers, a unicyclist and performers leading workshops where children could try out new skills to build confidence.

John Coleman, executive director for children and young People at Warwickshire County Council, said: “Days like this are about ensuring our children and young people feel happy, safe and valued.

“We want every child in our care to know they matter and this event gives them the space to have fun, build friendships and simply enjoy being together.”

Child Friendly Warwickshire Friends, Volvo and Puddle Ducks & Posh nursery also got involved by donating of Easter eggs.
