The Friendship Circle expanded its school outreach and launched the ‘Complete the Circle’ campaign.
The Friendship Circle is proud to highlight the continued success and growth of its Disability Education in Schools Programme, alongside the launch of its wider Complete the Circle crowdfunding campaign.
Working in partnership with local schools, the charity currently delivers its impactful four-part disability education programme in eight primary schools.
This long-standing initiative gives pupils meaningful opportunities to learn about inclusion, acceptance, and disability awareness while also connecting directly with individuals with disabilities to better understand their experiences.
As part of the Complete the Circle campaign, the charity has also hosted ‘friendship days’ across a number of participating schools. One such event took place at Broughton Jewish Primary School, where pupils and staff came together fora dedicated day of activities focused on kindness, empathy, and inclusion.
The Complete the Circle campaign is the charity’s main fundraising drive, with all proceeds going directly towards supporting people with disabilities in the Manchester Jewish community. Through its wide range of programmes, it helps members build friendships, develop confidence, and feel a true sense of belonging.
Esty Bruck, Director of Services, said: “We are incredibly proud of the relationships we’ve built with schools like Broughton Jewish and the impact our education programme continues to have.
By reaching young people early, we are helping to shape a more inclusive and understanding society.”
