"Thank you for the fantastic workshop you delivered as part of the Think Creative! event. It was a pleasure to work with you and we are still receiving very positive feedback from people who attended, many of whom mention the workshops as the highlight. You responded well to the brief to demonstrate how the arts can contribute to improving emotional wellbeing in children and young people. Thank you for contributing to promoting the arts as a valuable tool in addressing the Every Child Matters outcomes."
