The initial response is that we do like the idea very much. It is quirky and unique, and we feel it would work well within a festival situation. – Rebecca Jones, Womad
It looks like an excellent project – do keep me informed of progress. – David Richmond, CEO, art + power
We have a number of our service users who would be interested in taking part in this project if and when it happens. We’d be keen to have the chance to link up with your organisation at some point in the future. – Paul German, Rethink
Your Kangaroo Kourt project sounds exciting and innovative – I’m sure it will attract a lot of interest. Art and music are always very popular particularly for people with mental health difficulties and I’m sure they would appreciate something that they can get directly involved with in this way. I wish you all the best of luck with it. – Claire Barnard, Outreach Advocacy Worker, Bristol Mind
