“Before I came to Toonspeak I was really shy and self-conscious.  Now I make sure I talk to anyone who's new to the group and make them feel welcome.” Courtnay, 15, Balgrayhill

“My imagination has improved.  When I was doing drama at school in the past, I didn't have any ideas for sketches & things, and now I do.”

Stephen, 15, Royston Workshop

“Since I've been coming to Toonspeak I don't spend Thursday nights out on the street anymore, or in the house with nothing to do.” Daniel, 13, Royston Workshop

“You can always express your feelings without anyone judging you” Lara, 13

“I've changed. I used to be really shy, I used to get bullied, and then I joined Toonspeak.  I became a lot more confident.”

Lianne, 16
