"I cannot recommend Helix Arts enough. I just wanted someone to come and do it for us, but in a way that was going to be positive and fit in with our values - and there you were!"

Philippa J Scott (then Operations Manager, Northumberland Children's Fund)
on the Let's Create Project

"When I first signed up I didn't think I would enjoy it very much, but I was so wrong. I can't believe how much I have. Honestly, it has been fantastic. I've learned so much and I'm taking pictures everywhere I go."

"The programme affords high quality new experiences, even to those young people who have engaged in some creative activity in the past."

"When I first worked for Helix Arts I was impressed by the amount of support I had as an artist and the kind of thought that went into setting up projects and the respect for the art forms and the young people participating."

"Many have not had opportunity in their lives to do this kind of work, to have fun with it ... it would be easy to underestimate how amazing it is that they complete the session. It really says something about what we have here."

Julie Wigham, North of Tyne ISSP, on the Choices Project

"I found out I could do things and they were good for me and made me feel better. The sessions have given me the confidence to go out and do more."
