“Working with Creative Futures has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. The team is proactive, supportive, and genuinely committed to making the project succeed. It’s been a real pleasure collaborating and seeing the impact of the work we’re doing together. The Double Bass Dan music sessions have also been a huge hit, engaging, joyful, and a real highlight for the children & parents.” (Family Centre Manager)
"I think the songs and actions have helped my child develop in lots of ways. He often 'sings' at home which I think is from attending the sessions regularly. I think the sessions have helped him with his confidence, concentration, social skills and with his motor development such as hand-eye coordination. Likewise, he learns from the other children that attend, and he has learnt to share, for example sharing instruments with other children." (Parent)
