Testimonial:

Hello

I brought and took some art bits from the art bank. I picked up mainly pencils sketchbooks and some portfolios and some little canvases and pastels.

The bits were distributed to 2 young women who are care experienced.

They simply cannot afford art supplies as well as rent and  food.

I have just heard today that one of those young women has been inspired to make art and she used the resources to create a portfolio that has enabled her to secure a paid apprenticeship with a tattoo studio.

I just want to say a huge thanks and to let you know about the massive impact this initiative has had.
