My young people have loved everything about your summer school and given them something just for them as I have full-time caring responsibilities and they often miss out on a lot but we were so lucky to have been able to join you they made friends and gained confidence thank you all so much it has given our family so much
Thank you so much your summer school has done so much for our family my young person's absolutely loved it
The whole team are amazing.
They loved every minute of it. They loved the staff and were very happy with the food provided. All in all they had an excellent experience and are hoping to attend again next year. He lacks confidence in himself, I think it did him the world of good
That this is a fabulous service, I honestly can't quite believe my luck that my girl was able to attend this. I hope it continues for many years
