									<p><strong>Feedback from Teachers</strong></p><p>“The actors were excellent in interacting with the students we have at our school. The show was the best I’ve seen in my 3 years at school… The topics covered were age appropriate and addressed the social skills we need in our area. Well done to everyone!! The children talked about the actors long after they had left. Their presence made a big impact on our students.”</p><p><strong>Feedback from the Children  </strong></p><p>“It helped me learn about feelings and helps me know I can ask for help”                              </p><p>“I enjoyed the play, it was not only fun, but it made awareness around mental health.”</p><p>For more information, get in touch with our team today by<strong> </strong><a href="https://zfrmz.com/w1dwe8GwR2XEUSRQ7EHh" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>clicking here</strong></a>.
