to deliver new audiences. It also delivered useful contacts for both groups that will
make a difference in the future. We would be very keen to participate in any future
events.Jude Woodward, Director of Chinatown Arts Space
Performing at Kensington Gardens was absolutely beautiful and not a lot of us

Feedback from a participating organisation, FUSE 2010
“It’s good to have young
people, getting young
people’s thoughts and help to
organise this because
usually it’s just other people
doing it, but they’ve actually
given young people an
opportunity to show their
talents, show their ideas and
that’s what FUSE is all about
so thank you.”
