Comments from some of the Inspire! participants:

‘ It was nerve-wracking doing the work…but when it came together as one it was really good, it was really good, it was worth all the work.’

‘It’s been really good for me well as part of my life, because it gives me something to look forward to, and something to do just in general, and keeps my mind off other problems that…it gives me somewhere to get away to.’

‘ [I’d] do it all again tomorrow. Thank you to everyone that got me here.’

‘I learnt that you can use anything to make something creative.’

‘The best thing was the people I met. I made many new friends and met people who are teen mums and in the same situation as me.’

‘Everyone has said I’ve gained confidence. Sounds silly but it gives you sense of purpose and reason to get up in the morning.’

‘ I’d never done anything like it before. [The artists] were really fabulous. I’d never have been able to do anything if it wasn’t for them. They’ve taught me so much.’

‘ I think all of it was just full of laughs; there was never a day when it was just dull.’

‘ [Before the project] I never socialised, but now I’m always on the phone, meeting up.’

‘I found it very inspiring – it made me realise that I would like to do something creative as a career.’

‘I am very proud of the work that I did.’

‘I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was.’
