“I invited positive beats to the West Park Activity Day as the event was focused around arts and crafts and participation. I was amazed at the amount of people whom were drawn towards the drums, what was great was that the group attracted both adults and young people, many whom stayed for hours. It certainly adds sound, colour and calmness to your event. Thoroughly recommend them.” Marion Bynoe, Events Development Manager, Darlington County Council
“Having Positive Beats at our Annual General Meeting certainly provided the vibrant atmosphere that we were looking for. It encouraged people to have a go at something different and interact with other individuals. Fantastic!” Kathryn Ord. Head of Member Services, Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust
“The George Hardwick Foundation would highly recommend Positive Beats. We were amazed at how many people got involved in the drumming work shop at our Carer’s Week Event – it was lovely to see people in their 20’s drumming alongside people in their 80’s and all having so much fun! You were a delight to work with – professional, flexible and very positive and friendly throughout.” Ingrid Brough-Williams, Fundraising/Marketing Executive, George Hardwick Foundation
“There was something for everyone in the sessions, most important the children themselves couldn't express enough how much they enjoyed it and can't wait to do it again. Personally I found the rhythms easy to master and the activity very therapeutic. The group you worked with presented a wide spectrum of abilities and it was fantastic to see every child taking part with equal enthusiasm and success. Arts in education is increasingly recognised as an essential part of individualised learning and supportive of SEAL, (Social, Emotional, Aspects of Learning), and I feel the drum/dance sessions were a valuable contribution to this part of the curriculum." Connie Buckley , inclusions Worker, Frederick Nattrass Primary School.
