A big Thank You – Â to all the participants, Park View, Festival of Stories and all who came along to an amazing three days of fun in the sun.
In 2013 we were asked to facilitate two short workshops with young people engaged in National Citizens Service activities with the YMCA Â in the fantastic setting of Rossall School Fleetwood, during the summer break.
We created cardboard knights armor for the participants to add their own team designs to.
In 2013 Mr Dee was asked to work with Shabby2Chic as we have a great working partnership with this fantastic company

Mr Dee worked with a young person to develop  his art work on to a piece of recycled furniture which sold for £60
The young person who painted this has a real talent for illustration.
We suggested he develop one particular art work for adding to a
t-shirt.
Not only did the young man in  pass his award: gaining confidence and self esteem with regards his skills. He was able to see the potential to take his work forward and develop a  business selling his art work in the future.
As part of the Circles of Light Project we facilitated a drop in session for a day at Kirkham Park.
