What a wonderful group of girls they are and I was absolutely thrilled with how much they engaged with the workshops and with me as their presenter. The day was a great success and you should be very proud of how well you coordinated the day for your girls. It went so smoothly and is due largely to all your efforts to make it the success it was. You will find the following pages are comprised of statistics and comments from the girls about their day with Inspire and we hope that you enjoy reading them as much as we did. Again, many thanks for entrusting us with your girls. We look forward to working with them again and wish them all the very best for their future. Happy reading …..
