"Creativity really is king. It now comes under many different guises and titles, but you see that there is a big appetite for creative minds. When the landscape is ever changing, we can’t rely on the status quo, so creative solutions are needed to continually evolve."

"Seeing myself on the page made me realise I could write and tell stories too – children like me could even be the main character – and it empowered me to start writing and telling stories of my own!"
