Think Circus CIC

We are a social circus CIC, and we aim to improve lives through play and connection. Our small team of performers, facilitators and creators is based in Leith, Scotland. We are brought together by a belief that playfulness, connection and quality are really important and have been collectively creating circus for over a decade. Think Circus is driven by the personal experiences of our facilitators, and based on proven models of community circus from the UK and Europe, which demonstrate documented social benefits. We are proud to be part of a movement establishing these in Scotland. Our primary beneficiaries are families, young people and women in Leith, Craigmillar and Drumbrae, and our model is to work closely with local organisations wherever possible to ensure we reach those most in need. Since 2017, we have delivered social circus projects across Scotland with over 4,000 participants, working with local and national organisations such as YMCA, LGBT Youth, the National Trust, the Greenspace Trust and Sustrans, but our proudest achievement has been delivering our regular programmes to women, young people and families in Leith.

Workshop After Six was established by a group of colleagues including the founder of 7B Design Ltd, Sinan Senturk. After handcraft leather products Sinan and his colleagues made in their spare time attracted a great deal of attention, they decided to establish their brand Workshop After Six, which signifies that these products are made with enthusiasm and devotion, out of the regular work hours.
This is a brand new line of business and its aim is to offer design leather products and accessories to people who seek for alternative looks. Workshop After Six uses cowhide leather, which is a byproduct of the food industry and prefers vegetable tanned leather where possible which is the most natural colouring process. Sales are currently made from the UK to all over the world. You may browse and buy the products here.
