Meet Ash Perrin, founder and CEO of The Flying Seagull Project!

In 2017, Ash charmed the TEDxJacksonville stage with his powerful message of how playing and laughter heals the mind and body. Now, five years later, Ash comes to Lifeyness with the same unique mix of empathy, charisma, and sense fun!

The Flying Seagull Project is a unique team of artists, performers, play specialists and fun-devotees, dedicated to ensuring no childhood passes without proper play, big belly-laughs and everyone feeling valuable.

The Flying Seagulls work across the UK and around the world, sharing circus, music, art, dance and play experiences with children affected by poverty, war, isolation and illness. Since 2008, they’ve met more than 330,000 children in refugee camps, orphanages, institutions, refugees, hospices and community centres in 24 countries across four continents.

The Flying Seagulls transform the most challenging environments into places where children can feel safe and happy, replacing fear and uncertainty with positive human connections based on respect, happiness and laughter.
