Feedback
Bob and Julie from Healthy Arts provided a great experience for the members of the Catching Creativity group. After an initial meeting with members of the group, they sought funding for a music and drama based project. They were successful in getting funds from Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Trusts Dragons Den fund. Bob and Julie ran eight drama and music workshops, leading to a performance in front of an invited audience. The participants gave positive feedback, thoroughly enjoying the experience, getting a lot out of it.
