“Thank you for facilitating the Make a Positive Contribution workshop at our recent Sharing Event. … It was a very interesting, informative and empowering session for young people. We particularly appreciated your highly participatory and creative approach, both to helping young people to contribute to discussions in a meaningful way, and to working with us in designing, planning and implementing the event.”

Mini Kretz, Youth Involvement Manager
Greater Manchester Connexions

“Thank you for your contribution to the Family Support Workshop and planning session. We were ‘stuck' and the focus you helped us to engineer has moved us forward. Your thoughtful and supportive facilitation is valued.”

Mick Tinch, Childrens' Services Manager
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council

“Thank you for facilitating our Away Day and assisting us to create our vision to take Youth Participation forward in both our business plan and, more importantly, within the delivery of our work. … One important thing we learned that day was that we should never underestimate the ability of young people to deal with complex issues and, equally, to never underestimate adults' ability to undermine young people's participation.”

Diane Law, Youth Work Manager
BARCA-Leeds

“You have been extremely flexible in your delivery and approach, and have worked really well with a group of young people who are extremely difficult to focus and have high support needs. The preparation you have put into sessions has been outstanding. … Participation is now a live issue rather than a ‘word' we think we should be doing.”
