“The workshop was so inspiring for the staff and the children. Very interactive and inclusive. Laura, the actor was incredible. Lots of information included and revisited throughout the workshop. We can't wait to have Big Bubble back! The children absolutely loved this experience and were keen to share with others - A big thank you for such a wonderful experience!”
