I have learnt a lot about photography and enjoyed every session.”  (Theresa – A Team Participant) \n“The A Team are so excited to be working with the Vale on the art project. Members of the group have expressed how being creative is not only fun and relaxing but it helps the group to talk freely and comfortably in a welcoming and supportive space which is hugely beneficial to their wellbeing. The exhibition will be an opportunity for the group to express  individuality \, as well as raise awareness of autism & neurodiversity and what support is out there should anyone need it.” (Jacky Ellison – A Team) \nThis exhibition is kindly funded by Mossley Parish Council\, Tameside Creative Fund and part-funded by the UK government through the Flexible Local Authority Grants. \n
