Feedback from young people…

“I was a much happier person, and I was able to express my feelings quite a lot.”

“It was a really nice experience and the people there were kind.”

Feedback from schools…

“The quality of the sessions and range of activities were brilliant.”

“The children are more resilient to low level challenges they face in learning  which would have previously caused anxiety.”
