A note from the Organiser: 

The exhibition It features work by children who have, or have had cancer, plus work by artist advocates. It features the children's stories and explains why art and creativity have been so important to them and their families.

We hope you enjoy the artwork of our amazing children in a calm, reflective and healing outdoor space. We believe in the power of nature, and we hope you find some solace in the woods whilst finding out more about our amazing children.  The woods were one of Ben's favourite places, we hope you love it too.

Thank you to all the families who let us into their lives and shared their fabulous art work with us. We are very honoured that you agreed to be part of this emotional project.
