Becky's attended a very helpful webinar on using video in making funding applications, a new area for Roundabout but we're hoping to draw on the creative skills of the #dramatherapy team & Tom’s technical expertise to develop some new approaches.

The charity receives new enquiries every week asking for #dramatherapy support. At the start of term, schools have been getting in touch, seeking urgent help for their students.
