"The schools involved in this project serve a particularly disadvantaged community and many of the children have few opportunities outside of school to take part in creative projects. SHINE will be of great benefit to them, providing enrichment that the school is unable to offer as part of the day to day curriculum."

"This project is going into the school as it is on an upward curve and could be the potential tipping point for many students."
