Testimonials
Over the course of the project, we have collected a great deal of feedback. Here is shown a representative selection of such feedback.
“...I would highlight the person I spoke to from St Andrews on the 'Seeing life through a new light’ stand. I was really impressed with the pitch of the talk I was given … in a very friendly, informative and above all enthusiastic way.”

“ I have had the pleasure of visiting the activities your team has delivered and was particularly impressed with the programme’s ability to reach a variety of different adult groups ... The particular group I observed contained adults from a very wide range of social and educational backgrounds. however without exception they were spellbound by the presentation and demonstrations involved. Key comments from audience members included: "it's one of the most fascinating lectures we've all heard in a long while" and "that was fantastic, absolutely brilliant”.”
