Testimonials from parents:

“I wanted to reach out and say a huge thank you to Susanna, you and the team that facilitated last week’s drama workshop. ‘My son’ appears far more confident and relaxed! He also felt able to disclose an incident of bullying that has been worrying and affecting him at school. I believe this is directly related to the level of trust, acceptance and empowerment he felt, and as the week progressed he grew in confidence enough to be able to recognise and speak out about the hurt he has been experiencing.”

“Thank you for inviting my son to join the workshop and for providing him with an incredible experience and supportive environment, showing him he can be who he is, and be proud of that.”

 “I wanted to congratulate you and team for such a successful and excellent Easter holiday camp. ‘my daughter’ looked forward to every day with great excitement, (that was really refreshing to witness) and her mood has been much lighter since attending!”
