“SECTA worked with our youth group on two imaginative projects which stimulated their minds and got them talking about their hopes and fears. SECTA staff were professional, encouraging, creative, fun and delivered what they promised. SECTA shows great skill when engaging with people of all ages and backgrounds and the medium of art provides a creative place for relationships to flourish.”

Rev Larry Wright, St George's Church and Centre, Newtown. 

 

"It was great to run an interfaith art workshop for young people with SECTA. Patricia and Dennis were professional and reliable, so a pleasure to work with. I was impressed with the standard of art work the young people produced through their facilitation, and in the short space of time we had."

Jenni Creasey, The Feast School Worker

 

“We are delighted at St. George's with the work that SECTA has done with our young people. The art work produce by young people is inspirational and they were very engaged in the work. Their commitment to regular attendance spoke volumes about the quality of the input from SECTA.”

Dr Robert Tyler, CEO/ Centre Director of St George’s Community Hub

 

“I found SECTA to be approachable, accommodating and adaptable when it came to meetings to look at a programme that best suited the needs of our pupils. We came up with the framework and they put the meat on the bone. Everything was outlined in full and covered clearly in the proposals. SECTA’s delivery of the programme again was of a high professional standard, as was the staff they employed to deliver some of the activities for the young people.”

Jacqueline Peterkin, Senior Non-Teaching Pastoral Manager, Holte Visual and Performing Arts College.

 

“When I started the art class I had no idea how to paint on glass or even on paper, but as the weeks go by and I put my all into it the classes got more interesting and I saw what I could achieve. I really enjoy it and look forward to Thursdays for my painting class. Dennis and Patricia are really great and they have so much patience with all of us. Its great and I am enjoying the class and my other ladies and gent. Let’s keep it going."
