Well, that was a week! Thank you to all who joined us for this wordy experiment. Feedback on all our events has been overwhelmingly positive and I think it's fair to say that we are feeling humbled, touched and massively encouraged by the responses we've received.We have been able to offer all our activities free of charge to the community because of the generosity of organisations and individuals who gave money, resources and time to make this happen.
