‘… for me as I painter myself, I have particularly wanted to follow this theme, as we were discussing creativity and the therapeutic value of that.’

‘…when I was involved with this idea in my mind, I came to visit Sue here [at Art Therapy Yorkshire] and we discussed exactly what you do here [at Art Therapy Yorkshire], … it sent me on this path to follow this theme and it’s been really rewarding…’

‘…charities that use creativity in what they do to support people … I am so pleased because it’s really lived up to my expectations in that how valuable that really is for people… it makes such a difference…gathering’ together.

‘…listening to Sue … the thing that I found so moving was … about that man who, had this problem going round around his head. He couldn’t get out of, and [Sue] said to him “try drawing your way out on paper” and it was almost an encouraged him to think there was a way out of this that was going on in his mind and that has stayed with me all this time since we had that conversation.’

‘…make people realise how important this creative aspect is for people even those people maybe like that man who didn’t really think about painting or drawing was something that was anything to do with him really.’

‘… [art therapy] is something that can really work so I just really I’m so grateful to all of you for doing what we do here [at Art Therapy Yorkshire], which I think is really really worthwhile to take it so thank you so much.’
